Default RE: IS it worth it?

I do agree with the others that you do not need more power.

If you want more power? You could look at several other rounds beside the 300-wsm. IMHO the 300-wsm does not offer enough of a increase in power over the 30-06, to offsetthe added cost.

I think you should at least look at a few calibers. I recommend looking at 350-Remington mag, 35-Whelen, 338-06, 444-marlin, 300-R.U.M., 338-R.U.M. & Dare I say the 375-R.U.M. You just never know, you might fall in love with mid-bore magnums? I know I sure have.
I used my 375-R.U.M. all rifle season in Montana. I took 1-cow elk & 4-deer. Did I need that much power? HECK NO. I just wanted to hunt with a hard hitting magnum. One season of hunting with it was not enough. I will be using my 375 next year.
