I would agree that disc brakes are cool looking and that higher end disc brakes do work better than v-brakes in certain conditions, but not the disc brakes at that level. So, no, it is not worth the extra money.

Just to be clear, I am not saying the low end discs are bad... just not any better than the v's, hence not worth the extra money.
