Worth getting definitely. I agree it's a tad expensive for an add on. It does add a lot of content but I don't think it warrants nearly the cost of a whole game. They have sorted a lot of loading issues etc that plagued the main game. You won't believe how quick it loads compared to vanilla. Also one of my favourite games so I shelled out at launch.
I found it quite a bit easier mid game and late game, so probably worth knocking it up a notch difficulty wise if you are experienced with the game. I'm just about to complete the avatar autopsy and am completing most missions flawlessly on veteran.
The chosen are a decent twist but again quite easy to defeat on veteran. Advise going after them ASAP as they can be a pain on some missions, turning up at the worst times ^^
To summarise - deffo worth a punt if you like the original, different enough to keep you rooted for a full campaign again. Increase difficulty for best results.

thought it seemed expensive for an addon but it's one of my favourite games so bit the bullet. it really is the glue that completes the whole assembly, adds far more personal stories both to the plot and more importantly to the events your little team go through thanks to the addition of bonds and the amazing poster mode (words can't describe how cool this is after a tense battle). does make the strategic layer a lot busier too, rather than just choosing to do a side mission, slow down the avatar project or advance the plot you have half a dozen things demanding your time all while the clock is ticking.
added to the great custom campaigns (slow avatar, turn other DLC on/off or plenty of other tweaks) and hundreds of mods (90% of which are to add anime/game character looks and voiceovers) it's one hell of a package, i can easily see me doubling my 100+ hours played thanks to this addon
