Which is better for capoing up - Poly Pitch or Capo?

Curious if anyone notices the Pitch sounding/tracking better than the Capo? Pitch uses more DSP because it has the capability of sliding up and down into notes like a pedal steel.

Most of the times I would need it is for capoing up within the first 5 frets - artifacts seem more apparent on clean tones for sure.

Personally I use a physical capo for tuning up any number of frets. I would use Poly capo for downtuning to Eb for instance. I imagine that any type of digital pitch modulation introduces at least some artifacts so the natural acoustics vibration of the physical strings is preferred when possible. I only use pitch shifting for harmonies, 12-string simulation, or special effects like the sliding that Poly Pitch offers. 

 

But my use is minimal because I also have a Variax and handle most such things with a combination of physical capo and alternate tunings.
