Hello Marc, was the HR modification worth the money?

It gave me an increase in RAW sharpness which allowed less software sharpening by about 50%. so on landscapes, prints looked better more detailed. And on stills, objects were more three dimensional. Was it worth $450? I don't know, I've spent more on various papers looking for improvement, so for me yes it was worth it.
