High end binos do have practical benefits, and are a real pleasure to use.

Whether that is "worth it" depends on how important seeing well in tough conditions is to you, and also how much of a financial sacrifice you would need to make to buy them.

I bought a used pair of Swarovski 8.5x40 EL for about half the cost of new. They are truly beautiful to look through, and everyone who uses them comes away impressed. As nice as they are, being a lowly government worker-bee, I wouldn't pay full price for them.

I also have some very high end Austrian scopes. However, I have since migrated to Leupold VX3 glass, which is still high quality but at a substantial savings with no loss of performance for my applications.
