But again with some tube speaker amps (highish gain) I'd be hesitant to invest in one prior to testing the amp with a traditional pot to see where the listening sweet spot was.

I think 2dB inductive attenuation is much finer than resistive attenuation, but I have nothing to back that claim up other than voodoo magic.
