Yep, Talons are definitely worth the extra money. I just installed a set on my new 2020 Ram. Had to work with Etrailer and Torklift, as they didn't have a listing for '19 and '20 trucks yet. I had Talons on my 2015 Ram I traded in, and they are now sitting on my workbench waiting to be cleaned up so I can put them up for sale.
I lived with the steel Torklift mounts on my first two Rams, fought with and hated them for years. Usually had to have a hammer with me to insert and remove them. They were awful!
As I said, I had the Talons on my last truck, I think through 4-5 Western NY winters. As the part mounted to the truck is stainless steel, they still work and look fine. The aluminum inserts still have the original gray paint/powdercoat on them.
