I think that ACE is very worth it. Aside from all the perks that's been listed above(and i've used many of them), the publications are great. I've read through the "Guide to Ride" book about 30 times since january and I absolutly love it, plus their RC! magazine offer off-beat articles and cover quite a bit of foriegn parks. I've been a member for two yrs now and it's been worth every cent of it. So is all the smaller regional clubs as well.
