As Tannin says, open (and modal) tunings could highlight normal equal temperament and low-fret intonation issues

You have to find a way that works for you

Heya - can you give some examples of modal tunings? Sounds interesting. 

DADGAD is the most famous one

Just tuned a cheap guitar to DADGAD and messing with it. Kashmir by Led Zeppellin sounds great in it too.

~half of Roy Harper's stuff is in DADGAD, do you like his stuff?

The tuning used for "The Rain Song" is very nice too
