i have exactly the same question.

IS IT WORTH IT ?

it's an expensive upgrade. I own a Honda with 6 gears, and in 6th gear, the engine is dead, because it is simply used to save on fuel consumption.

i wish to think the 6 gears actually MAKE a difference !

Max and Speed, there was a great discussion about the 5 speed vs. the 6 speed a few months ago. Have you done a search?

A 5-speed 987 (2006) weights 2,855 pounds. A 6-speed 987S weights 2,965 pounds (110 pounds more). Not all of this difference is just the gear box. Sorry, these are the only numbers I could find quickly.
