My theory on needing to retune is that if the rubber pad edge is over  the fret, without damping the strings, that minimizes the capo pad pressing the strings out of tune. Give it a try and see . . .

I own a Thalia Capo, which I use with my 810.  I am very pleased with it.  I have not had any problems with needing to re-tune when using it (I actually don't have that problem with any capo I have used).  The Thalia does come with two sets of fret pads made of different materials.  I prefer to use the #12 rubber pad for my Taylor, which is the suggested number for Taylor fretboards.  Both the fret-pads and capo itself come with very nice protective carry bags.  The capo is very easy to use, and has worked quite well for me.
Actually The Thalia radius guide says 15 not 12, as Taylor guitars have a 15 inch radius.

Tried the G7, didn't like it and sent it back. The Thalia, though expensive is the best capo I have used, YMMV.
