Default Is it worth it???

Is it worth getting a receiver that decodes these:

Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, dts Decoding.

Im currently looking at a 5200es Sony receiver, I compared it to the 5300es and this is the only difference i saw. Is it worth it?

What player do you have/plan to get?

Do you currently have an HDMI receiver?

I recommend the Onkyo TX-SR605 or TX-705. They are both great, decently priced recievers. The 605 is around $300 if you shop around right.

For me TrueHD and DTS-MA makes it worth it.

It depends on your budget. If you have the money, go for the 5300es. This is a review on that receiver.
