was it worth the ~11$?

Yes, it is worth it.
But since this is DDR4, I do not understand why to add only 8GB and not 16GB stick (2 x 16GB seems to be supported) apart from budget and availability.

yes it works and better as i had only 1 8gb stick in it so that dual channel was studdreing...  it works better def but yes budget was the constraint.  2 16 gb sticks from next day delivery will be a consideration but i had to do something with what i had available.  9.99 free delivery.  10.59 with tax.

Since you already have 16GB somehow and it works fine, I would not bother with upgrading it unless there is a real need.
I hope it works fine, run memtest or something to be able to return it on time.
