The one ARC I've bought was complete, and had perfectly good formatting and spelling. A regular copy was released in the usual price range a few months later, but this was both an author I think worthy of the extra support and a story I didn't want to wait for (P C Hodgell's Bound in Blood)
I'm suprised to hear that some of the ARCs have problems - the absence of them in my copy must be down to the author if it's not universal in Baen's ARC.
To the OP - in my opinion yes, both in cost and in the criteria that would lead me to buy them, but unlike hardcover paperbooks they don't take up extra space.
