I'd certainly do it, though not necessarily to improve the performance of Video Studio. There is considerable doubt that more RAM will make VS faster. But it would probably improve your computer's performance more generally.

So you'd be up $6 and increase your system's RAM to 16GB. Why do you even ask if it's worthwhile?
