How will an adjustable regulator benefit me?

I just ordered the Dreamline, and if I shoot it like I have shot my FX cyclones in the past, I'll mostly use the low and medium power settings. Is there any advantage to messing with the factory setting on the regulator? My thought was setting it at 100 bar may increase shots/fill. How many shots/ fill at the lower settings might I expect? The shot strings I've seen are always for high power

Of course I will do some shooting on high power but not much.
 
I have found by watching Matt Dubber's videos that I can tune the gun for tightest groups by changing the regulator pressure. It's all about harmonics. Basically, on a windless day shoot groups at 60 y or beyond and change settings starting at say 100 bar and going up maybe 10 bar a a time. You should see a setting that yields tighter groups. In my case I had tight groups at 130 bar and at 145 bar. I have an Impact .25 so I can't tell you what the Dream might yield. But it's worth the effort. Ted Biers also tunes off the regulator so watch his as well and decide for yourself.

Be sure, once you find your sweet spot to adjust the HST to match the reg setting. The higher you go on the reg. the more force the HST needs. These videos don't cover the Dreamline but can be applied.
