The higher pressures will make the turn-in feel more precise (less
"sloppy" as you say), but in normal street use will result in excess wear
of the center portion of the tread (in my experience). If you aren't
concerned with tire life on the street, I agree, it feels much more
responsive. On the track, aggressive cornering probably equals out the
wear on the edges, although overall wear will be greatly accelerated, of
course (compared to street use).
