I don't see why:
when you reach any given depth a better evaluatinon function remains a better
evaluations function.
Of course a deeper search is always welcome, but due to nonlinear-growth of the
number of nodes to be searched a faster hardwer grants less gain comparatively,
while better undestanding remains more or less etter understanding, since the
evaluation function has a more or less constant wieght at any level of ply.
This is pure speculation of mine of course
