Well it is your own choise and some of teh armor can be very good considering upgrade and creation mats are easy to get.

To make this clear on how hard it is to upgrade armor on frontier. You use monster mats and stuff to upgrade on there so I almost forgot armor stones exist. It gets hard when for best upgrades you need like 2-3 2% carve only items form HC monsters just for 1 level on one piece of armor.

Hope that clears up why it could be worth the money. Also cash armor when in high level upgrades has 3 slots on each part and on frontier we have gems like +5 Evasion and +5 Poison in a single one slot gem so you could understand the value of so many slots.
