Do the winglets really make that big of a difference?

I have heard that there is less yaw, improved climb, and
high altitude performance.  has anyone verified that?  I
have regular wing tips, and the factory wont take them in on
credit for winglets.  i bought the kit partially completed,
so that decision was out of my hands at the time.

As the building process goes on, I at least sometimes have a
hard time keeping focused on simply getting the plane done
and flying, but I think the decision to shell out $2000 for
wing tips requires this forum expert opinion on the valid
issues at hand.

I really appreciate this resource.
