IMHO,
it's worth only if you're good enough to notice the improvements

Sounds like you answered your question. The only downside would be to your wallet.

How about a free float handguard with the Texas logo like my LaRue?

They're not hard to install, I did it myself with proper tools like an upper receiver action block, handguard wrench, strap wrench, and a table vice, it took me about less than 30 minutes.

Take a look at these instructions.
