Knowing your tuning frequency, ESPECIALLY while you still have time to make changes, is very important. Also, knowing what your graph actually looks like along with impedance, can make the difference between several hundred watts or more. This is something that can be seen and modified in real time.
All changes you make are easily verifyable. Longer ports, Multiple ports, larger ports (more area), box volume changes, even polyfill can change the impedance curve and gain (or cost) you precious power. Plus knowing what it is tuned to for listening preferences is nice as well. (Rock, Rap etc)
This is just a basic video showing a few plots and basic tuning verification of my last box. You can of course make a dot every .1 hz and get the most detailed curve ever if you wanted haha.
