Default Unloaded Dyno?

Hey just a quick simple question: How does an unloaded dyno effect numbers vs a loaded dyno?

Loaded dyno's will generally give a better representation of power band and small torque changes where as an inertia wont. Which is more accurate? The argument continues on that one. I prefer the load cell on mine so I can accurately hold the dyno steady state and MBT tune timing tables and the hard to reach VE points. Different strokes for different folks though.
