Even though I have resonant vertical dipoles, I have found the tuner 
gives more flexibility in tuning.  We had a snow storm this week that 
dumped almost two feet of snow over a two day period.  The antenna 
tuning changed quite a bit while the feed point and antenna ends and 
other parts such as where the antenna elements pass through my deck were 
covered with snow but the tuner handled these changes without a problem 
and I continued to make contacts as usual.  I do have a short feedline 
so added loss from swr is not an issue.  I have limited space and a hoa 
issue; I have permission for the antenna provided that it's unobtrusive.
