I bit the bullet and got myself one, next day on a solo walk I fell on my ass. I was close to using it but luckily I had a well stocked first aid kit/pharmacy and only a few k's and lots of daylight to go.
Having it actually gave me the confidence to walk out.
Worth having, rent or buy is up to your situation just let your emergency contacts have accurate info.
My Dutch heritage and the $300 replacement battery cost also motivated me to keep walking.
