It gives you a 2nd place to breed meaning you can make twice as many attempts when trying for a rare or limited dragon, have an extra place to keep breeding when one has a slow breeding time dragon like Crystal, Panlong or a Rare or breed twice as many Air dragons etc. in order to earn cash.

After getting extra nests for the nursery i'd consider EBI the best use of gems in the game, far from a waste.
