Would the HiDPI scaled resolutions potentially offered in OS X 10.9.3 improve the resolution and text sharpness of a 27" 2560 x1440 screen if scaled down to 1920 x 1080? Or would it just make things larger but not necessarily sharper or clearer?

For my 2013 rMBP 13" I'm getting soon the Dell U2713HM, which is 109 ppi, and am wondering if I scale this down with either 10.9.3 or SwitchResX, will I get a higher effective ppi and therefore nearer to retina screen?

Also, does SwtichResX implement the HiDPI scaled resolutions the same way as OS X 10.9.3?
