Default Pacesetter's (painted vs. ceramic)

Hey guys,
is it really worth it to get ceramic coated over painted Pacesetters??? Most of my time will be spent in CA, so I wont really be going through harsh winters or salty roads. I dont really think its worth it to go Kook's/QTP......thanks for any advice guys!

I have the non coated pacesettes and so far there isn't anyrust but i do not drive the car in the rain or winter. It basically just sits in the garage LOL. I would spend the extra hundred bucks and get the coated ones they look nicer and will hold up better than the non coated ones.
