Yes, it would be more accurate, because they trim them at the factory to within 0.1 cents.  However you cannot use this to set the A-440 on the tuning exam because the tuning exam specifically excludes visual tuning devices from this part of the test.  You must demonstrate that you can match A4 to a tone source by listening alone.
