All that for $3K, it's a total steal!!

Also, I think it depends on how aggressively you drive. When on a twisty back-road, do you find yourself braking heavily approaching a corner, even late-braking a bit - all 4 wheels sliding (controllably) at the limit of adhesion (not skidding) while simultaneously shifting from 3rd to second early in the corner so you can get into the power-band in 2nd so you can feather the throttle to weight the rear tires for a more balanced slide and power-on earlier on the exit, but you don't want to let the clutch out in 2nd, early-mid corner, with RPMs not matched and induce engine braking which will unweight the rear tires and possibly send you into a spin if you can't heel-toe effectively with your right foot to get the RPMs in the right place. I'll admit I suck at heel-toe shifting so I need that help.
Yeah, then it would be worth it. If you don't drive like that, you will not see much benefit. But since it comes as part of a very well-priced Sports package that also gets you wheels/tires and big brakes, spoilers, you may as well just get the sports package and syncroRev match just somes with it.
