To me it is worth it to have the extra power of disc brakes, and they are better in wet weather over rim brakes. My reading shows there are other advantages as well but those two are the main selling points for me and are worth the additional cost and weight. Of course they are also more complex to maintain over time, and that is something to consider as well.

In the end I may decide against them - but time will tell.
