Worth the extra work?

Redoing a good part of the front suspension and am doing my homework as I stock up on parts. Already have KYB GR-2 struts, End link bolts/bushings, sway bar bracket bushings & Ball joints ready to go in. >>>> My question: Is it worth the little extra money/work to replace the front Control Arm bushings? Has anyone replaced thiers and noticed a difference? Thanks............

>>>>Has anybody replaced thier control arm bushings and noticed a difference?<<<< I have a habit of planning on replacing one thing, Struts in this case. Then my project spreads like WILD FIRE! I also have play 9 to 3 and visually looking at my tie rods/center link look O.K. (not bent/warped. I see movement leading all the way back to my steering gearbox. I plan to adjust that and hopefully that solves that issue.... One damn thing always leads to another... Thanks for any input. Like I said trying to do my homework as I dive into yet another project.
