I could tell the difference a bit (at least I believed so), but my wife who has keen ears couldn't tell the difference. Of course it was after a long day at work for her so....

I also adjusted the volumes of the mixes to be close to the same. Knowing that I'm listening to (let's say) the clean jazz vs. the driven jazz well, I know the driven is supposed to be warmer, perhaps a bit harder sound so I'm looking for it ya know what I mean?

But if I didn't know that from the beginning the subtlety of it might have just gone right passed me (especially if I was and end user).

Is it worth it? Well, maybe. Depends I guess if you had one in your studio and you could mess with it yourself and then say "Ah... that's better."
