Only you can make that determination based on your resources, time and whether the prize(s) will be worth the effort, energy and time.
Storm 8 is a For profit company. Whatever else one can say about the Company and the ways it chooses to make money, one can never truthfully say Storm8 has ever given anyone the impression that it is a charitable company that exists for our free entertainment. They will, therefore, always make events challenging and slow going and offer the option to more quickly complete the event at a premium. This is a choice only you can make. If you want a less stressful premium experience (For whatever reason) then spend the money. If you don't want to spend the money then take your time, look at all the information, make your calculations, strategise and do whatever you need to do.
