For the low B (130) it really adds to the clarity and intonation, but I can’t tell the difference between a tapered E or A and a non-tapered E or A.
Any thoughts?

If YOU can't tell the difference then maybe it doesn't matter for YOU. The tension is different between the two styles and some players and or basses benefit from the taper design. The B seems to change more between the two styles. We use to Taper the Ds as well but found the difference too slight to continue making them tapered so we stopped on the Ds.
