I run nothing but Driveshaft Shop 1-piece steel propeller shafts on all my street driven vehicles. It is worth it to me.
What do you value? Tell me what you value and I'll tell you if it's worth the cost to get the benefits.

Different compared to what? Stock? Aluminium? Carbon fibre?
I assume you're comparing to stock.
For a perfect new stock propeller shaft, the difference is significant. Less lag. Less vibration.
For a worn out propeller shaft, which you will probably get if you buy used, there is no comparison. The steel 1piece is much better.

The response is faster because energy isn't wasted twisting the 2piece shaft.
What do you think is a lot?
Someone should install a shaft sensor on the output shaft of the gearbox and one on the input of the diff. Then datalog and compare the lag between the two sensors for a 1piece vs. a 2piece.
