The right descriptive word can be worth diamonds in a composition. Of course, as Mark Twain said, "it must be the right word, not it's second cousin". Naturally, if you know thirty ways to describe a man or a voice or a smile instead of only five ways, you therefore have a wider selection and your chances of picking an effective word are much improved.
