Are they really worth the money.

NO.

yes but not paying retail. i won the majestic a few weeks back here at c-bid for about 200 bones and love it.

I have one I got over the summer and I love it. It holds about 150 sticks and the humidifier that came with it has never let it fall below 70 degrees humidity. I would recommend one highly. However, I also wouldn't pay full price.......Brent
