I have one. Do I use it? Depends. I fly an SR20 so in case of the engine failing, I can pull the 'chute. However I will only fly if the weather conditions are excellent.
For me, flying at night - especially my recent New Year's Eve flight at midnight, flying over cities, watching the fireworks made it worthwhile so yes, having the rating is rewarding enough to enjoy it but I doubt I would use it as frequently in an older Spam Can....
