Depends on the pressure. Up here we have a lot of Extended Diapause with Northerns "green" RW. Did a plot with the same base hybrid with and with out RW and had 22.5 bu advantage and was drier.
At $25 premium you only need about 3 bu to get a positive return. As much as I dislike "mon-satan" that makes me money and is cheap insurance.
