If you're doing mastering every day for clients where you both need to make sure you are maintaining L/R channel balance and where they might want to recall or revise tracks then having stepped controls is absolutely worth the extra cash if you can afford it.

If you are just using your processors for tracking/mixing and or occasional "home mastering" then it's better to save the cash.
