I think so. It depends on your current TomTom model. If it's a high-end and you are looking to keep it for sometime, then yes. If it's a lower-end model, the $91.30 could make up 50% of the cost to buy a brand new device with the latest maps.

heavenlywild: You would be surprised graemeh, especially around the major cities.
Yes but it's not really such an issue that I'd bother paying for the upgrade.
The Tom Tom maps are not always that up to date anyway. I bought one 6 months ago and it didn't have my parent's street in Tauranga on it. The street had been there for at least 2 years that I know of and is on google maps.
I'd only see it being a problem if the new streets were the actual destination you wanted to go to, then there would be a problem.
I guess it comes down to whether you live in a new area of town or whether you are in a major city - the difference between having a road listed on the map and having the right turn-off becomes vital in bigger cities.
Anyway, GPS units get cheaper and cheaper by the year with newer and better features. I wouldn't bother with paying for new maps to be honest.
I've never understood why the purchasers of dedicated Tom Tom hardware are charged for map updates when we iPhone and iPod Touch users are able to receive free updates when we have only paid a fraction of the cost to have the application.
