I only do it in situations where the piano is too far down to 
risk (for whatever reason) enough over pull to have it end up 
where I want it after one pitch raise pass. It's to eliminate 
a second pitch raise and keep the process down to two passes. 
Body conservation. Time too. I set pins (strings) somewhat as 
I do a pitch raise, as I find it gives me a clearer picture of 
what I am hearing, and a more accurate result. It also takes 
more time as a trade off. Instead of a 15 minute quickie PR 
pass, mine usually take 20+, with a two pass PT&T taking 
typically about 70 minutes.
