no, it's not worth it. i don't think the quality of automatic transmission fluid matters a whole hell of a lot, as long as it's not total garbage and it gets changed when it should, you will get the most out of your transmission.
i use regular aamco fluid that can be found at autozone, i have 10k HARD miles on mine with a full race/high stall shift kit and 5k with my 4k stall (55k total on tranny) and it still works fine...knock on wood.

Fluid does matter, to the lockup clutch. There are many
different materials out there and they are not all tolerant
of various friction modifiers and degrees of slipperiness.
Get the recommendation from your converter manufacturer
and stick with it. The same would probably be true of any
trans using aftermarket frictions; the stock GM parts are a
known quantity (though I'd be surprised to see GM put their
stamp of approval on funky fluid) and at least there the goo
maker has a sitting target to test against (if they chose).
You can't go wrong with a major brand, DexronIII with the
latest spec anti-chatter additives. This is what you want
to see on the label.
