I did a similar thing, only with an Everex EGA on my Mitsubishi CGA monitor.
The main benefits are 16 colors (vs. 1) at 640x200, appreciably faster
text display speed, and flicker-free operation.  

Now, I take it you intend to run the Wonder in high-res mode.  I've seen
it done, and I believe it works by scanning different parts of the image
on successive passes of the monitor's scanning electron beam.  (It over-
laps different images to form one composite image.)  I've only seen it
in a demo situation, but it looked pretty good (albeit not as good as
real EGA).
