What practical use/benefit does a ternary 'bit' based computer have?

Prototype working ternary device
Quantum computing with qbits and so on is one thing, but what exactly do we stand to gain from a CPU which works on a ternary basis, where each 'bit' is ether yes/no/maybe (or true/false/filenotfound)?
Is it simply an academic exercise or could it change processor design?
