Is it worth buying a K&N oil filter above a basic one for my 1125r.

I saw this the other day and put me off ever fitting a K&N oil filter:

Mind you, I've been using Toyota Crown (Hong Kong taxi) oil filters for the last 8 years on my XB12; covered 30,000 miles in the process. Hasn't gone bang yet, probably just jinxed myself!
