Really depends on your mission profile. If you are using short fields most of the time -- yes there is a benefit.
If you are running full gross with normally aspirated engines at higher elevations. --- yes, they can be beneficial.
They are a problem to install with boots. There is added expense.
They can get you into as much trouble without since when you try and push the envelope.
In my opinion they are not worth it unless you have a specific purpose and need them. Again, application dependent.
I expect there is a couple of knots loss in Air speed.
Perhaps there are others that can add their two cents worth....
fyi
