great advantages of fluorocarbon leaders. Anyone use them, are
they worth paying the extra?

Before using it you might not be aware of the environmental issues.
This is an extract from this article
http://www.utahonthefly.com/articles/fluoro.html. Whether it is true
or not I have no idea, I always use nylon monofilament anyway.

"Although there is no known biodegradable timetable for these products
when intentionally or accidentally discarded within a natural
environment, researchers have stated that it far surpasses
monofilaments longevity by 100's to 1000's of years. On the flip side,
monofilament lines degrade by 40% when exposed to just 100 hrs. of
ultra violet rays and even more rapidly when exposed to water since
monofilaments do absorb water."
