Does this voltage doubler work any "better" (better regulation, better
transformer utilization, etc) than the classic 2-diode, 2-capacitor
doubler (as seen in e.g. the HP-23 supplies)? I know it uses more
parts; what I'm wondering is whether the extra parts actually provide
any benefits, and if so, under what circumstances.

Does anybody have any actual experience with this circuit?

It is more complicated than the normal full wave doubler,

but I can't see that it has any advantages.
