To answer your question, yes and no. No they are not worth the extra money if you still change your oil every three thousand to probably even 10 thousand miles. Yes because they do protect your engine better at startup in cold weather. No if you buy cheaper synthetics. Yes if you get the good ones such as Mobil 1 or better yet Amsoil. Yes if you run Amsoil and go the 17.5k severe or 35k normal driving recommended oil change intervals. Yes! Amsoil is guaranteed for those miles when used with their filters. Yes you will save money at those intervals even with the higher initial cost, yes you will use less oil and save time and not use as many filters. Yes, it is that good of oil. Amsoil has a synthetic 75w90 gear oil. You know what that pours like when it is 5 farenheit out? Water! What does Rotella 15w40 pour like when it is 5 farenheit out? Pretty slow, and you have to pump that between your rod bearing and crank. Amsoil and probably other good synthetics still pour like water at that temp. Which do you want to pump into that bearing? From all the reading and personal use I'd say they are worth it almost every time. Not always but usually. In the long run they save more than just money. Plus at least Amsoil is made here in the states in Wisconsin.
