The gain in performance is pretty significant... https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti/3639vs3649
And the fact that if you go any higher than 1060, your processor is going to limit that card... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q7lIYRK5T0ABLvAkgbM_2jJGvbhlep27mR-eRcCy4FA/edit#gid=0
I think, its well worth it.

The limitation is minimal. But a major factor is the amount of the cost negated by the sale of the current card he has. If he can get it even for $200 after the write off for around 70% gain, still a good deal.

I'd say no it's not 'worth it'. If the question was is it worth spending more for the 1060 then I'd say yes. You already have the 1050 Ti though.
If, and this is a big if, you can sell the 1050 Ti for a decent amount so that you aren't paying a premium just to move up to the 1060 then it might be worth it...assuming you play games that would benefit.
Just to use some numbers to show what I mean: Let's say you spent $160 for the 1050 Ti and $220 for the 1060 and all you have for use now is a 1060. If you sell the 1050 Ti for $100 then it's like that 1060 cost you $280. So to make this worthwhile you'd need to get a lot more than $100 for it.

You are talking about opportunity cost when bought simultaneously and returned. This is not that scenario and involves depreciation. When it is bought for $220 and you regain $100 there, basically thats what you pay for around 80% gain.
