Yeah. Totally worth it.
I would run it bog standard. Use the nozzle it ships with, or add a simple brass one and assemble it with care.
Once you have it working, it will probably work a long time.
I have a CR-10 machine mostly running PLA, HIPS and PETG. I never change anything.
The secret is warm up hot end, push filament through by hand, until flow is straight and clean. Then print.
On material change, I do it hot. Pull one, insert the other, push by hand until flow is good.
