Definitely a bit better.
When climbing on a 33% grad, I have to stand up not because it's more effective (it isn't), but it's the only way I can put a bit more weight on the front end of the bike to keep the front wheel on the tarmac, it does not help when your weight is slightly more on the rear than front when seated.
