2 tracks hard L/R trick for lead vocal

I know I posted something about this earlier this year but I'd like to get some fresh feedback on the subject. I've been playing around with vocal tracks, trying to make them more interesting scince I rarely use any effects on my lead vocal tracks and like them fairly dry. I've had some great results lately by making a copy of the vocal and panning them hard L/R. I leave one track flat with no EQ or compression. On the other track, I roll off the lows, boost the highs and compress so it pumps a little (finally, I found a use for my crappy D8B fat channel compressor). What I get is a psuedo stereo interplay between the 2 speakers that really adds life and dimension to an otherwise boring, dry vocal.

Just wondering if anyone is doing this or something like it...
