There are so many conversations on this subject, and it's Monday.. too sleepy to type it all out.

It pretty much comes down to,
1) Do you you want roomscale / have the room?
If you do, then yeah.. it is worth it.

If not, Rift has better controllers right now.

There are other threads were this answer goes into more detail.
