Huge improvement.

When I have some extra cash, I plan on laying some R38 on top of the grid.

EDIT:
Sorry, I should have read you post more closely. I thought you had that drop ceiling.
At $9 a sheet, that's $1.12 per square foot for, what is essentially, 1" OC703.
That's going to add up very fast.
Listen to Andre and look a bit harder for places that sell fiberglass products.
You really want to remove the plastic.
