Not worth it, yet. The cost of lithium per Wh is still astronimcal compared to lead. Plus, I've been monitoring battery voltages lately. I only really have problems with voltage dropping too low when I have my headlights on. If its dusk/dawn I just turn on the running lights instead and voltages are fine. If I don't have any lights on I could coast forever.
