Royal Purple Oil -- is it really worth it?

I witnessed a demonstration of Royal Purple versus other oils Dino and synthetic where I work By a salesman of RP. They have what I would term a anti wear additive they would call a film strenght additive. Any way it does without a doubt enable the oil to with stand Extreme pressure better than it's competitors. Much better. The test was similar to a Timkin load test. It is actually quit amazing stuff.

I was thinking of using some in my lawn mower since they seem to be the only brand of syn oil that comes in a straight 30 weight.
