If you are travelling at a meal time (rather than the 'extended breakfast' or 'afternoon tea' farce), then CE can be extremely valuable, especially if you are flying from an outstation with poor lounge offerings.
I'd say this only really applies to routes over 1h30m though, otherwise it's only worth it if you need the TPs.
The priority bus at T3 is also a massive plus though. (Though I think all Euro flights from T3 are over 1h30 anyway?)
