6 hp is actualy pretty significant, when you consider we are talking about a power increase of over 10%. Couple that with a good weight saving on a needlessly heavy part of the std bike, and the potential lifetime of a full stainless system and come replacement time, if you plan on keeping the bike, why would you not be tempted?
I agree, you have to go for the road legal baffled version, (which is what was on my XT when I bought her), but a significant weight saving AND a significant performance gain is a no brainer, if the cost is OK.
I also think that if you're looking to make modifications purely to get more power, you're better of buying a more powerfull bike to start with. KTM spring to mind...(But don't forget the AA membership!)
