I bought the Peterson StroboClip just for the sweetened tuning as I don't particularly want a pedal tuner and my Snarks aren't precise enough for the JT tuning.
Learning the StroboClip was an adventure in itself, but I would say that I perceive a difference in the overall tone of the instrument and an improvement in intonation. Now, when I play with other folks, I just use my Super Snark and play at the exact same pitch as them. However, the JT tuning does make my barre and open chords sound more in-tune throughout the neck. I don't feel "out of tune" without it either, but it does increase consonance throughout the neck. If I play an open-Cmaj7 at the seventh fret, it sounds more consonant than if it wasn't sweetened.
