Lenses/ Reflectors worth it for COB?

I will definitely use them because i have them
But if there's a section on my canopy thats grown taller than the rest, i'll take them off for that section. 6inches bare or with reflector, it didnt matter as it was my first run with LED. I just wanted no shadow spots and was waiting to see bleached leaves/bud (however it never happened).
I'll probably raise them with my next run for even more uniformity and better spread though.

Also, note that my growing area is quite large so my method doesn't apply to most of you. 12ft x 17ft. So i'm aiming the LED's at the edge on an angle.
8-10 sweet spot

The way my par mapping will work is quite different to the charts on that forum. It will all be done on computer instead of manually, this way you can adjust heights on your computer to see how things will end up being. You could also do a mix of COBs and strips to see how that works out. It is going to take some time to implement it all but hopefully mid next month I will be making a start.
