I swapped from a Fellow Ode to the Baratza with an upgraded bur and couldn't be happier. 
I had the Baratza for years. I gave it to my son when I upgraded my espresso setup and he has used it for the last 4 years with no issues.
You can buy replacement burrs that have differing "teeth" profiles, etc. Some are designed for filter coffee, vs espresso

I love it. Perfect grinds for my daily V60 and does espresso better than my Ode did. It's pretty quiet also which is a plus. The burr upgrade option really sold me on it also.

It's up for debate how much it improves the Baratza. I think I get a more consistent grind with less fines in it now. Less channeling in my V60 but I don't know that I can credit that to the new burr. Consistency would help this aspect.
Was it worth it? I think so. Is it necessary? No, I don't think so. The Barazta is a fine unit straight from the box
Baratza Encore for us. Just because you can spend obscene amounts of money on a burr grinder doesn't mean you have to. 
No, I didn't have to, but I wanted to spend less time measuring out doses and more time refining the pull time.
