To homebrew or not to homebrew

Hey TR,
So, after I deciding on the Palm Pre a few months back, I am most impressed with the device overall.
The form factor's decent, interface snappy, and apps place has a solid assortment of useful apps.
As an enthusiast though, stock is never good enough, which brings me to the question: To homebrew, or not to homebrew?
As I understand it, homebrew opens up to a world of better apps, and device mods (I.e. overclocking
) and looks straight forward enough. My question to you is: Is it worth the hassle/ risk? Not sure if Cyril has dabbled in it too much, but what about other Pre owners? Is that extra 300MHz really worth it? Are the apps THAT much better?
