Fresh spices add more depth to recipes, just about always. It's like grinding the coffee yourself from beans. Pre-ground coffee degenerates quicker than beans so grinding the beans fresh results in better coffee.
"Worth it" is always a subjecctive measure of benefit versus cost. I prefer to grind my own coffee beans for good coffee but not for everyday coffee. I don't generally bother grinding my own spices, though.
