is an honours degree really worth it?

hey guys.

I'm in the third year of a computer science and mangament degree at Edinburgh uni (degrees are 4 years long in scotland for those who don't know) I've never particulary enjoyed the degree and found the subject matter to be quite hard. I have the option to leave at the end of my third year with just a BSc CompSci and Management. Will I be loosing alot by not gaining a honours degree?

Like I said I find the degree quite hard so if I did stay on for the 4th year I don't think I would get better then a 2:2, more likely a third. Is it better to just not waste the time/money of another year at uni by just getting a non-honours?

Afterwards I'm hoping to start flight training, either here or in US/Aus (due to colourblindess, depends if i can pass the CAA tests or not)

Any advice welcome. thanks for reading.
