On departure it saved us less time in line but the "free" food and drinks in the departure lounge are nice and would have cost a lot if purchased in the concourse. I think the biggest perk is just feeling pampered. That's also why we always fly first class. Even the best travel days tend to suck so anything to ease that is worth it to me.
Remember the lounge that was included in the price of a first class ticket back in the days of air Jamaica? It was not the greatest lounge, but a heck of a step up from the no chair, ant filled waiting areas of days gone by
