What I still can't decide (though I'm swayed toward not) is wheter it is worth the hype / premium price it gets.

Whatever you do, Scott, don't make the mistake of assuming all synlubes are created equal. They're not. There are some really half-assed, designed-by-committee impostors out there.
For my money, only Amsoil and Mobil 1 have distinguished themselves over the long haul.
Red-Line products are way too pricey and offer nothing better than their better-priced, better competitors. Another line -- called Crystal Purple, or Deep Purple, or Ozzie's Blend, or somesuch -- also has a good rep, I'm told -- but I've never used it ... obviously.
