I'm not so sure. They had the satellites in their "flat" mode and adjusted them to be edge on into the worst of the drag induced by the storm. They effectively tested that profile and have measurement data on how much drag they have to deal with under those situations. That data may allow them to limit damage to the entire fleet with larger storms, or make more informed decisions about future launches. That data probably isn't worth the cost of the satellites they lost though...
