R57 Cabrio Rear "X" Brace Worth It?

I've seen two different rear cross braces for stiffening up the back end of the Cabrio. If I'm not racing or actively rallying the car, is it worth investing four to five hundred dollars in the thing?

I really don't know about the "need" for this, but if you are not racing or rallying, I would consider this a waste of money.

A better rear swaybar will be the best upgrade.
