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.
