If your "natural" travel patterns take you within a whisker of the Gold hurdle, then it might be worth the effort. Otherwise, and as you have noted, Silver captures the bulk of the benefits of being a GCH.
Though might have missed the soft landing from gold through silver to oblivion - which i think could be useful if you see reducing travel needs over the next year or so.
