There is no empirical evidence, only anecdotal blog posts.

There is no empirical evidence for either side of the argument... and masters does have benefits for new requesters. For one, theres a high likelihood that any possible volume scammers have already had their account wrecked before they ever have a chance to get masters. The value of the benefits that come from using it aren't concrete or any higher than creating closed quals... but the other side of the argument is basically "we assume its a lottery because we have no information and its unfair that your work isn't available to all of us" The only benefit the non-masters side can honestly bring to the table is that the worker sample size is larger which means more chances to hit target demographics in a timely manner.
There is an academic research study that showed using Masters was no better than using qualifications like 5K and 98%. But I'm going to have to search for the link.

If it exists and I don't recall... I'd like to see it. My memory is shit.

But we are also talking about new requesters... ones who don't know about using 5k and 98% or other metrics that may not have much discernible meaning to them at that stage in their usage of mturk.

There's a couple out there. I can dig more when I have more time. I can see one in my head but can't find the link to it. Here's another that mentions it, though:

"We used our two worker pools as normal AMT workers with high approval rating and AMT Master workers. We were surprised to find that Master workers are not much superior in quality than regular workers."
