MPPT Tracker - Worth the $?

[quidnon]

Hi All!

I put together a "hybrid"kit from Northern. Got 4 (15W) panels and one (used) 20W Solarex.  I bought the 7A "Sunforce" controller:

So far, the system is working - I'm thinking of adding a 1000W inverter for small AC loads.

I'm thinking of spending the bucks to upgrade the controller to the Morningstar MPPT to "squeak out" any extra amps possible:

Think this is a waste of money??

btw...

system is 12V w/ 2x 110Ah marine deep cycle batts. Using a Trimetric 2020 meter for monitoring.

Thanks for the time and comments!
