To get an impression of the benefits, have a look in the "Please post your Priority Club Elite experiences"-thread. Good luck!
I've been very happy with PC plat without RA. I only have had a handful of stays thus far, but with the promos/bonuses/upgrades/5K pt redemption levels I've been quite pleased. I say go for it, can't hurt to have plat.
