I think its probably worth it, you know&#8230; to erm, pay to walk up all those stairs and to take in the lovely architecture!  It really is quite impressive and quite tall.  And the whispering gallery actually works.  I  even had a smile when Bec made me participate in the whispering just so she could say we had done it.
