When I started playing a lot of jazz standards I started using the 
Melody Maker tuning more and more.  I now have a full set of them, 
and I use them on tunes like "When I Fall in Love" and "Fly Me To 
the Moon".  I also use them in 5th position sometimes for minor 
keyed pieces like "The Shadow of Your Smile".  

I play Paddy Richter normally, so on tunes like "Georgia" on a 
Melody Maker it's easy enough to remember to flat the 7th most of 
the time except when you need the major 7th.
