That will depend a lot on your reading habits and how much you value the ebook. I only did a handful of searches, but it looks like A-list titles are typically around $8 for the ebook and $13 to add audio. You're looking at $20-25 total cost. All of the titles I've grabbed so far, though, were more like $2-5 for the ebook and $2-3 to add audio, so less even then my half-price monthly credits.
Often the Amazon Daily Deal ebooks have matching sale prices on their Whispersync for Voice audiobooks, so I haven't paid "full price" for any of the WfV audiobooks I've purchased so far. Now with Audible's own Daily Deal there is probably even less incentive to have a subscription credit plan. After I buy a few audiobooks that are new releases this fall I'll probably cancel again.
