Personal experience: I just burned through my entire weekly Sol allocation with Astra on high today.

Look, if you're asking yourself this and you're not sure if it's worth it then it's probably not worth the cost for you. BUT, many, many users will have absolutely no doubt that it's worth it. They know the benefits are enormous for them and because of their use cases they'll token max this to oblivion. You know the saying: "if you're wondering if you can afford it, then you probably can't" ?
