IMHO they are certainly worth attending - some aspects are very illuminating. e.g. they gave us a very good practical demo of the way in which disorientation in clouds works.
Allegedly according to the statistics, pilots who attend them have fewer accidents. It may of course be that people who see fit to attend them are already predisposed to "thinking safety"
PS They also put a nice stamp in your logbook to say that you've been.
