Prism v mirrors

Is the addition coin that is required to purchase a 2" prism worth the shekels? I have a 8" SCT, I have read that a SCT does not really benefit from a prism and that a good mirror is fine, is this fact or cr$p?
One more question.... The Meade 4000 56mm at around $100 worth it? What function does this style of lens serve outside lunar observation? I am expanding my limited but excellent collection of len's and I would like to know if the Meade 400 2" 56 warrants a place in the lens collection?
