For most shooting games, it would be useful (Aerial Assist being the exception). That said, $300 is expensive.

I'm not sure there's a need for new KOP sensors. As is, we don't use the limit switches provided. We've done pretty well buying sensors we find online. We used prox switches ($8) and prox sensors ($12) this year to great effect for us.
