No, it isn't worth the extra money. Horizon Hobbies and Hobby People are going nuts trying to pass off cheaply made Chinese engines at Japanese prices through buckets of marketing hype. You were smart to pose the question.
A Thunder Tiger .46 or a Tower .46 (the latter if you are comfortable with running glow engines) will be indistinguishable from the Evolution .52 when the model is airborne.
Frankly, the $50 Super Tigre GS-40 would power this model satisfactorily, if money is really tight.
