No, not unless a small purchase of miles gets you to an award which you are otherwise desperate to take.

I certainly would not e.g. purchase 5x19,000x1.25 miles for my HHA just because the price has gone down a bit.

I think it is best to pessimistically reckon that a mile is "worth" no more than 1p when banked, though sometimes one can feel that one gets more worth when redeeming.

(BTW the real cynics amongst us now expect a mile devaluation on the 12th November, transatlantics going up to 62500 return in Y.)
