You bet.

I'm making a nice approach into Bermuda right now with it...

I'm probably not the guy to pull out complex performance charts, but I do find that expanding the gauge's range (now tops out well above 2.0 instead of 1.8) makes it easier to get feedback on my current power setting.  In other words I feel like I can fine-tune my power better.

So even for that, it's worth it!
