I went through SFO T3 yesterday and Clear had no line whereas Pre-Check had a couple of wraps around the snake. So we probably saved time in Clear.
That's exactly the situation where Clear still saves time.
This morning at T1 it was walk right up to the Covenant agent, and I definitely saved time vs. Clear. (Then of course had to wait in a long line caused by the unbelievably slow automated bag scanners, so net result was a complete wash.)
