Dick Absolutely! Dampp Chasers will make a world of difference compared to a piano (grand or upright) without a system. Absolutely. Add a bottom cover and it's all the better. Add a top cover - even better. Add a floor length cover for the whole piano - even better. Each additional step complements the system, but the system alone will make a tremendous difference in my experience. I consider them a must for any institution that hopes to have any level of stability in their pianos. True, that with a new piano, the strings may still be bending around their bearing points, and when that settles down, stability will increase even more, but that is a completely different issue.
