I purchased this on sale at Amazon for about $100. At that price this was well worth it. I don't really play Rockband nearly as much as I did when the game was released. Back story: In a relatively short period of time I went through 3 of the original guitars. The first (the original RB wired version) died of strum bar failure although I was able to open it up and jury rig a fix. The second (the wireless RB version) failed on overdrive activation (but otherwise was functional), the third (the wireless from the RB2 bundle) doesn't register the yellow fret unless pressed very directly (pressure must be straight down on the key - hard if you have small hands). I pretty much gave up on the game because of the quality of guitar peripherals (I remain somewhat miffed that at the low durability of such expensive add ons). Oh, that tiny little spring for the whammy bars also broke on the first two (although winding a rubberband around the outside of the bar to the bottom guitar strap peg fixes that problem)

So, I purchased this version on a whim and since my friends still like to break out the game every now and then. I can say the feel is excellant the extra weight feels good once you get used to it. More to the point the strum bar (although it is clicky) is very solid and seems like it will hold up over time (there is very little play in it and the return action is good - so strummer can use this without getting the double strums that happen when the bar is too loose).

So, I would say if you intend to play a lot you might actually save some money (and certainly some frustration) by buying something like this. However, I would also say that at the normal price I would consider this too expensive personally.
