Yes... It costs a lot of money, but it can save you hours of work and there are things you can do with it that you just can't do without it. The new vanishing point tool is amazing; you can set a perspective grid on your image, clone anything you wish into it and it comes out in the same perspective. What a time saver! The new bridge files which include Illustrator as well as Photoshop saves a whole lot of clicking plus it allows you to work and resize in vector directly on an analog document without losing any quality. Super! new camera raw file processing saves hours of work and I love the wrap object feature. It's worth every penny. I am still working in the tutorial,but applying what I learn as I go along. I'll tell you more as I learn more. I am really impressed.
