Question Evo 8 5 speed with evo 9 first gear

SO my trans is at shep racing at the moment and I can't decide if I want to get the evo 9 first gear put in it. Is it worth it? How many out there have one in their trans? Comments and input is needed asap so they can start digging in.

Shep does not list it as an option. I am looking for opinions from the people that have the 8 gearing with the 9 first gear ratio.
