Yes.

Pro's - Shortens the trigger reset a noticable and functional amout. Also removes the slack from the SA trigger pull.
Able to be installed on all classic series pistols, to include the P225, 228, and the 245.

Con's - Should have come from the factory with the gun.

I agree this should just be part of a new trigger group from the factory . It is worth it, I love mine.

Both of my Sigs a P220 and a P229 both have the short reset trigger. For my fussy trigger finger the SRT is a must have.

Worth the time and money in my experience/opinion. I have it in 3 of my 4 P-series pistols.

I just got back from the fun shop comparing a P220 Elite Dark and a P220 Combat.

The Elite has the SRT trigger and the Combat does not.

From just dry firing/operating the triggers side by side several times, I thought that the SRT had a slightly heavier double action pull and a tiny more creep and was slightly harder to break in single action.

Maybe that was just a really smooth P220 Combat, but I preferred the regular old trigger in the combat for squeezing off a round.

However, trying them under rapid fire side by side might change my mind.

There is nothing wrong with the standard DA/SA trigger on the vast majority of Sigs for most people, (occasionally, bad ones slip through. My dad has a 225 that had to be sent back to Sig and never should have left the factory with the trigger pull it had. Sig fixed it no questions asked.).

For me, the difference between the two comes down to this:

Shorter reset on SA follow up shots

NO creep/slack in the trigger pull. The trigger is now steady all the way through.

IMO, that's worth the money to get the SRT.

Installing it is very simple. There is a stickied thread that details how install it and detail strip and clean your Sig Classic series pistol. Spend the money it would cost you to send the gun to Sig to get it installed and buy the tools needed from Brownells, (Sig Armorer's Tool, punches, a mallet, and use a piece of 2x4 scrap with a hole drilled through the middle) and now you can install it and detail strip/clean your pistol and replace springs/parts as needed.

I kind of want to get the SRT but my 228's trigger is so perfect right now I don't want to risk fooing it up.

You're literally installing two parts, the sear and the safety lever.
If the new sear messes up your trigger pull, replace the new parts with the old and go back to your old/current trigger pull.

Sell the parts you just bought on the EE and make your money back....

Its not permanent or anything.
