Well, lets see.  If you only ride a couple thousand miles a year yeah why bother.  But can you think of ANY manufacturer today that does not use an o or x ring chain?  Chain stretch raises hell with cs sprocket wear.  It is a lot of work replacing the cs sprocket on a RE.  There must be someone out there who has found an x ring chain that works.
