I think the recoil lug is worth the money... assures recoil is directed straight back and true to the rear without any sliding off-center.
As I see it, though, the nut does nothing more than keep the barrel tightened down and locked in place. The factory nut accomplishes this just fine. Anything more is pure overkill.
Having said that, I also appreciate the beauty of true craftsmanship and can see why others would like a precision nut on their rifle, but I cannot believe (unlike the precision ground, heavy duty recoil lug) it will make the rifle shoot any better.
