Yeah, you're still in the same keys, just in lower and higher ranges. There are many reasons you might want to do that, a high G to stand out above instruments, a low F to play in key of C and get a more rock bottom, less shrill sound, etc.

I don't use low harps often, and prefer a high G over a low G for most situations. To me, a high G just has more of a kick to it. But I do like the low keys for slow songs where I'm accompanying a singer. Sometimes a high key is just too shrill for certain songs.
