Clearbra/ 3M film worth it?

Does anyone have any experience with a clear plastic coating on often chipped areas of the vehicle? There is a 3M 'name brand' version and has various other names, such as clear-bra.

The intent is a clear, near invisible layer of protection on your front bumper, the front portion of the hood, etc. From cursory web searches it seems like a must-have add on for sport/performance cars. I summarily dismissed the add-ons that the dealer tried to sell me when I recently bought a Lancer, but I was just told that the car won't be ready tomorrow as promised, but they will let me get the 3M film at dealer cost ($427 Canadian).

On one hand, I have no experience or knowledge about it, no do any of my immediate friends. On the other hand, we actually have 4 hard seasons here and the car has a low nose profile, and it seems about 80% of random internet car forum goers approve if they have heard of it.
