I bought the developer option a few weeks ago and using it on two sites right now. It's nice, but it didn't really save any time with the design. Actually, it took longer than a "normal" theme, because the way you change things is different than a normal theme. Aside from changing fonts and columns, widths, etc, the simplest things like adding an image in the header and making it clickable, requires you change a custom css file and using hooks to modify the functions file to make it happen. Luckily, they have a great message support board, but it's not as plug and play as the sales pitch appears.
If you want to setup some blogs out of the box like the ones above, get it. If you're into heavily customizing your theme, there's no time benefit than to just modify a free one.
