Absolutely. I fly r/t from Mexico to IAH 2x a year and it easily saves me an hour. When it 's a tight connection it's crucial. $100 for five years? I eat that many McDonalds in the airport in a year.
As you pass through YYZ, NEXUS would be a better option. It's cheaper ($50 vs $100 for GE), gets you expedited entry into Canada and the US, get front of line privileges at the CATSA security line and includes GE for free.
Once you join NEXUS or GE (as a US citizen), you can join Viajero Confiable in Mexico (1,372 MXP), SES in South Korea ($100 US), FLUX in the Netherlands (€121 a year) and get to use SmartGate in Australia for free. Also, you get Precheck on all eligible airlines as a NEXUS or GE member.
