Hi Chris,
I think CTI was also useful in the I system as even with 0,5 MHz more video bandwidth the choma BW is sill about 1/4 of the luma BW.
But it's in SECAM that the improvement was the most impressive (on a colour bar pattern) because of the very bad transient response between saturated colours due to the effrect of the deemphasis on the truncated maximum frequency deviation and amplitude.
But even then it did not make much difference on real pictures.
