It makes a big difference, without harming framerates.
Higher terrain looks a lot better, although of course it's not perfect.
There are a few little glitches with bodies of water and roads lining up, etc, but nothing serious that I've found so far.

The finer the mesh resolution the more varied and "rugged" the terrain.
