Default Personalised Plate. Cost Justified?

Has anyone else on here got one?
If so what are your thoughts on £1200?
For what it's worth.
In 2010 I bought a Tourer, registered in 2005, which had had one previous owner, with a plate that was personal to him. I hated the 55 plate it had subsequently been given when he sold it (see picture below) and - in 2012 - checked the DVLA website to see if they had anything suitable, that I liked better. As well as SE55 ROV, which I bought for £250, I'm pretty sure they had MG55 ROV for sale at £800. Although the latter has a much bigger appeal/market, at the time I couldn't justify the expenditure. Whoever has it now obviously thinks it's worth 50% more than it was 10 years ago. Not a bad investment, if they get it.
