Abstract
We discuss the comparison of our theoretical simulations of the specific-heat transition in inhomogeneous cuprate superconductors in the light of the critique of Tallon and Loram [preceding paper, Phys. Rev. B79, 096501 (2009)]. We argue that a significant part of the observed transition width may be due to a spatial distribution of the pair interaction, and that the mean field and fluctuation contributions to the specific heat are affected in different ways by inhomogeneity, leaving open the possibility that a proper treatment of fluctuations will give the narrow region of negative curvature observed in experiment.
