My wife is extremely happy with hers. So that makes it worth it for me.
Go to Lexus.com and look under pricing & options for RX. Scroll way down the list and the Luxury options will be listed.

I have the Luxury package and love it. I initially was not going to get it but the exact RX I wanted only came this way. The HUD is great, I did not think I would like it but I do, it works great.
With the Luxury you get the semi-aniline leather, the front seat cushion extenders(great if you're tall), illuminated door sills, power moon roof, power rear door, 19" wheels, wood steering wheel and shifter, head light washers, side view camera, and my favorite feature the power folding mirrors. The side view camera is great as I always hug the curb when I park. This has already saved me many a scuffed tire.
The HUD, park assist, Mark Levinson are additions to the Luxury. Pre packaged.

No, I don't play soccer!
I thought HUD might be distracting but I am enjoying it. I like how it shows the directions (arrows) when you have nav guidance on.
Now I don't have the luxury package but I have a few options from it in mine. I had to special order though.

I think one or two of those may be standard like the "power rear door" and "power tilt-and-slide moonroof with one-touch open/close and sliding sunshade".
Also, I have the USB input (non-luxury).

Well I am assuming you will be driving at night time as well...so yes, its worth it. =P
I was driving a loaner 2010 RX last week without the HUD, and I found that it was quite annoying to have to actually look at the instrument panel to check my speed.
Is it a necessity? No. Is it a useful feature for people who drive at night and don't wear polarized sun glasses during the day? Yes.
That and selecting music tracks is much easier since tracks are displayed on the HUD as you scroll. If you notice it doesn't do that on the NAV screen...you have to wait for the song to start playing before the track number, and tag info shows up.
Go to the dealer and try it out, and see if you like it.
