Did you have the timing issue's the whole time with the stratus and wavelight? Or was that caused by your chain?
To be clear I think the 'timing issue' was a bogus attempt to sell me a transport device. The guy went from the Wavelight sounds 'best' with the accompanying hard-drive based platform to 'this will fix your issue.'
Given that, I do believe the issue was interaction with the chain. The Wavelight seemed to be functioning as designed once I adjusted the SU-6 dip switches to Rockna's suggested settings. Some gear just works together beautifully, and this just never beat the Holo in my setup. Again, its entirely possible that any 'flaws' I heard with the Wavelight were just in comparison to me loving the sound of the Holo Spring. To that point I now have the Holo May and have no intention of changing any time soon.
