They're very expensive for what they are....

Spend your money on good lens filters, tuition material such as George Jardine's, or good beer.

A few months ago I downloadad the Tri-X and Kodak Gold VSCO filters for free (a special offer).
I'm about to uninstall them since I never used them.

One thing to bear in mind is that they add presets in several LR panels, namely: presets (16 presets each filter), curves (16 curves each) and Camera Calibration (2 & 1).
Personally, I don't like all that clutter.

if you're dying to try something, how about DxO FilmPack 5

In the case of the VSCO no new files are created, with the DxO an extra TIFF is created breaking somewhat the non-destructive concept and consumes extra space.

Though I agree that get some beer and experiment yourself with the help of free presets (a random google result: http://presetlove.com) to see that while it might somewhat get you there, you almost always need to do the final adjustments anyway.
