Well, it depends.

For example I use ac-slime[1] and find it very convenient to see full
documentation of the symbol when completing, not only arglist which is
usually dislpayed in minibuffer. That way I don't have to switch to
browser to look up CLHS or lispdoc[2]. Sometimes just names of the
arguments are not enough (for me) to understand how to use the
function.
