Yes, no, maybe
Maybe!
Yes, if you want smoother bokeh backgrounds.
Yes, if you want to reduce glare and improve contrast when shooting into a bright sky or light sources.
No, as your money will be better spent on other limiteds which will give you a much more significant difference with your overall photography.
No, if you like the starburst effect at night stopped down on your XS or the dreamier wash of lower contrast shooting into bright light.
IF it is one of your main lenses used, I would upgrade. But if it is infrequently used, it's not worth the upgrade.
