Default LS1 To LS6 PCV Conversion. Worth It??

Is it worth the time & $$ to convert the LS1 PCV to the LS6 style set-up? From what I understand, the problem with the LS1 PCV is it forces oil along with the air into the intake manifold. The LS6 system pulls the pressure from the valley cover rather than the valve cover, thereby eliminating the problem.

It is not expensive to do this mod and makes damn good sense in my view.

I'm On the fence on this one ,I haven't heard if it is really a fix or not.

I did the conversion along with an in-line filter between the PCV valve nad throttle body. I still get a small amount of oil in the filter, so the LS6 system isn't perfection.
