Is it worth the effort to replace the plastic nut with a bone nut on my Epi Dot?

My son prefers high action and strings up 12's on his Tele. I've used Stephen Delft's instructions to good effect on his guitar.

I recently replaced a plastic nut on a SG. The reason was the low strings were sounding very dead, with no sustain whatsoever. The bone nut made a noticeable difference. I'm not sure if it was the bone, the fitting or the fact that i raised the nut height slightly but the difference was pretty big (and the client was happy).
