I find them useful. ATC
sometime holds me at too high an altitude to get down with good aircraft
management. Speed brakes will flat help
you get to the speed and altitude you need to get tol.

If I had an emergency (fire comes to
mind) at fl200 I would consider anything that would help me get down
faster useful.

Legacy speed brakes
Here's a suggestion for
simplifying the Legacy speed brake installation: glass over the pockets
for them and fuggedaboudem. Before starting N121J, I noted that the
factory demo plane doesn't have speed brakes, and in 70 or 80 hours of flying
mine, I never missed them. Keep it simple, right? And put the $4K
or so into something useful, or another cool toy for your panel.
