I totally agree with the use of good quality spooled tippet materials in the finer diameters. When fishing clear water using small patterns, the suppleness and lower visibility make a huge difference in hook up rates. I've had many days where anything larger than 6X produced little to no action. Drop down one size with the same patterns and bingo, Fish On!
I find this to be more the case when nymphing, but small dries can also be presented better using these thinner lines as well giving a much more natural drift.
A littler harder to land fish at times, especially in fast water, but if you don't hook em you can't land them either. The Provo is one prime example where smaller, thinner, and limper are almost always better in clear water conditions. IMO it's worth the extra money to buy the best you can afford when it comes to these lines.
