Tough to say what's "worth it" or not. Have you ever been on monotube Bilsteins (HDs, etc.)?
They will certainly improve handing, and give you a very controlled feel. Compared to something like a Koni yellow, the HD's feel "stiff". Meaning, they offer a lot of road feel. You feel the small bumps, which leads some people to describe them as harsh. However, IMHO (and that of my wife) they are not harsh at all. Quite the opposite. They give you a tank-like feel. No crashing over large bumps, never bottom out, etc.
I'm a convert fro Koni adjustables, and will put them on all my cars whenever possible.
Generally speaking, shocks/struts are much more important than springs regarding overall handling. So I'd never tell someone to NOT buy good dampeners if they're considering them. Absolutely. However, if ultimate softness/isolation is your priority, I wouldn't necessarily recommend monotubes.
