The $50 Wayback Machine subscription debate - worth it or a total waste?

I shelled out $50 for a personal Wayback Machine subscription last month to save some dying blog posts from 2005, and it pulled up a cached version of my old portfolio that landed me a freelance gig. But then half the URLs I tried just showed error pages anyway - has anyone else gotten mixed results with their paid plan versus just using the free version for dead links?

I had better luck using the free plan to grab old GeoCities pages than paying for guaranteed access.

Smart move Eric, the free plan can surprise you sometimes.
