Do a short critical test before you crank through a multi-hour performance. The difference between the two settings can be serious. Without the enhancements can sound much more open and natural, but it can let background sounds through.

We're not the performer. It's up to you to tell which one you like -- and judge it on a very good sound system or good headphones. We regularly have to talk people out of critical monitoring on their laptop speakers. That tells you next to nothing about the quality of the sound.
