Fancy Fuse for Regenerator?

I'm thinking of putting one of those SR Purple fuses into my P10 Regenerator. I'm  seeking opinions if this is a great place because the benefits will go to all my equipment, or if it's a waste because the power is regenerated anyway. Please don't respond if you think these expensive fuses are all a joke, as I'm not trying to start one of those downward spiraling threads. Thank you.

A fuse that blows when used at the recommended rating is ridiculous, and SRs are known to do just that (I had one that did). I think expensive fuses aren’t so much a joke as nonsense. At least a joke is possibly funny.

Thank you all. I will consider this purchase some more. I'm definately not getting one right away. Maybe if they go on sale.

I replaced the stock fuse in my Exact Power ep15a with an Acme CFC fuse and really enjoyed the results; noticeably more lively overall. 

I'd been using an SR Orange fuse in my integrated amp, and decided to try the Acme. My "expectation bias" favored the Acme but, excepting for a more extended top end, the Orange was better. Ultimately, I put an SR Purple in the integrated and that's the best yet; excellent highs and more harmonically complete mids.

There's now an SR Purple on the way to replace the Acme in the Exact Power ep15a. If it doesn't outperform the Acme, I can return it.
