Yes, they may be useful for many checks. Maybe a more practical way of checking the TX audio is to transmit into a dummy load and listening to a right without any antenna connected. I trust more on this kind of checks rather than a report from others. This way you can somehow check spurs (eg. at 12Mhz) and harmonics keeping in mind that the Smeter of any rig is not rocket science.

Another cool thing is you can record yourself for playback, an easier comparison than trying to listen to yourself after a short delay. I know when I try to listen myself directly I get confused.
Bill has a good point about lobes, you can check your performance at multiple sites to get a better idea of where each antenna works best.
