Unless you do a *lot* of sewing, I would be somewhat wary.
For example, how linty is the thread? Over the years I have come to appreciate good quality thread -- such as Aurifil -- that is very smooth and does not leave a lot of lint in my machine. I figure a new machine would cost me a lot more money than extra money spent on good thread. I also like the fact that Aurifil is so thin, as it means I can load more yards onto a bobbin and reduce my bobbin changes. Aurifil also helps me make more accurate 1/4" seams (the thinness means that there is less fabric in the turn-of-the-cloth, and the seams iron flatter).
I could see getting this thread if you are going to use it in a serger or for making clothing. I would be much less interested in it for quilting.
