Default Torque Damper

I pose yet another question, is a torque damper worth the money and are they effective. I know I need new motor mount bushings, but I stumbled across the torque damper. Let me know...

get polly motor mount inserts... far better then the torque damper... if you are looking to stiff it up.. if not just get replacement mounts and call it a day, no need for that torque damper.

I think they're just there to add bling. Unless you're pushing 500lbs of torque then you would benefit from it, if you're making almost stock power then there's no need for it.
