The cable will provide you with a better picture and in that respect
the cable is worth it. I only think Sega has overpriced (as all
companies do). My estimate of $4 was high too, and I only think that
if you can make such a cable, you better do it yourself. You can pick
the right length that fits your system best (if you place it on top of your
TV set, you can keep it short). And you can buy the best materials.

I haven't seen the Sega cable, because it isn't available here. So
I had to make it myself.
