Default Value in imaging Comet 17C/Holmes from Ulysses or other probes?

Given the difficulty in assessing Comet 17C/Holmes' tail from an Earth
or Mars viewpoint, would there be value in imaging the comet from a
better viewpoint? Even if Cassini had enough resolution, I think the
comet would be too close to the Sun for viewing from Saturn. Are
there other options, such as Ulysses?
