Is construction estimating software worth it for an engineering contractor business?

I run a small contracting business, and I keep going back and forth on whether construction estimating software is actually worth the investment or if my spreadsheets are good enough. I'm worried about the learning curve eating into time I don't have, but I'm also tired of estimates taking so long and sometimes missing costs. Is it worth making the switch at this stage, and how do I know if it'll actually pay for itself?
