Good post, in fact I think you're probably right. If you're only going to be playing sporadically or at low limits (say < 1/2) or playing less a few hundred table hours per year, it probably isn't worth it to spend the $50 or so on the program, as that money would better go to building a bankroll (or buying beer). However, I think we should still recommend it to anyone aspiring to play at a semi-professional level or better. Once you get into playing poker as a source of income, poker tracker becomes a worthwhile asset.

If you're unsure whether to buy it, I say shell out once your bankroll starts getting into the $1500 range.
