It really depends on how much you are going to use it ... All the upgrade does is cut the breeding time in half. Personally I think it is worth it now that they have decreased the price of the upgrade (I think it used to be around 1000 gems to upgrade the breeding island when they first introduced the upgrade?!? No way was that worth it)

I have upgraded my breeding cave since that was the cheaper option. However when I think about it it probably would have been better to upgrade the EBI first since that has a better chance of rares.

Take pearl for example, it takes a lot of tries to get (took me around 60 I think?). If you upgrade then it saves you between 1-2 hours breeding each time x that by the 60 tries it took me ... So ultimately in this case around 100 hours have been saved or if you use gems to make the breeding faster then you have saved 100 gems. Then times that by 10 months (since there are 10 more gemstones left to come out). So ... Those 100 hours/gems x 10 months = 1000 hours or gems saved ...

I think you get the point lol :)
