That's up to you if you want to take it with the additional benefit of not having to swab between shots.
BH209 should be more on the power order of T7 than Pyro, which is weaker than both.
And yes, it is worth the extra pounding in my rifle. When I'm shooting at game, I really do not even feel the recoil. Offhand shooting, in general, hurts less than bench, though.
