I guess you have to define "worth it" better.

In terms of helping and maintaining the bitcoin network, it is definately worth it. But if you look at it from a personal effort vs rewards point of view, it is definately not worth it as you personally gain nothing from running a full node currently.

I don't have the recources available to run a full node, but if I had, I would probably run one for the sake of helping the network.

For an average user, is the trouble of running and maintaining a full client worth it?

For me, considering that it requires a ton of storage space and considerable bandwidth (at first), plus electricity, I'd rather use SPV.
What about you?
