CLEAR might be a nice backup if PreCheck fails, especially at an airport like MCO with no SP security line, but as we see more pax qualifying for PreCheck over the next couple years, it will likely mean buh-bye for CLEAR.
Clear allows you to adjust the time you get to the airport. Pre-check is a lottery. Don't get me wrong, it is novel to keep your shoes on and laptop in your bag, but Pre-check wont impact how I budget my time. Clear allows me to cut it very close to departure time in DEN and MCO, which is how I like it.
