Well for macro I found live view extremely helpful, I use it every time I do macro for many reasons:
1) Most important I don't have to lay on the ground or get uncomfortable while shooting,
2) I don't cause lighting issues with my own shadow
3) mirror is already locked up
4)Focus is extremely reliable especially when zooming (focus peaking)
5) I can reliably preview exposure with exposure simulation
