In my limited experience, it does look (a lot) better than the plain, matte
finish -- for about 18 months, at which point it abruptly begins looking
much worse. I'm the absolute monarch of the delayed maintenance crowd and
thus no longer use it; the regular finish seems much more durable. FWIW, I
try to use at least 4 coats when I do it. Lasts longer that way.
Be wary of the varnish clan, they'll try to seduce you with soft words and
dreams of gleaming wood finishes worthy of a fine violin. If that's what you
want, so be it, but it'd be less work to use Cetol and take a violin out
with you to admire occasionally. ;-)
