Question Winglets on Icelandair B752's

Icelandair have quite large winglets on their Boeing B752's.

This reduces induced drag by about 2-4 % ?

Usually the wings have to be strengthened when winglets are added.

I don't see many other B757's with winglets.

Is the benefit really worth the effort ?
