Yes and no.
It's not going to be filled with 20 years of gunk and it will do away with recycling the crank case emissions and blow-by oil into the inlet. - I think it's the most elegant of the available catch-cans because it allows you to collect and drain-back to the sump the oil whilst venting any gasses (so it's a complete replacement of the original system). If I was going to buy one, this is the one I'd buy.
If all you want is a catch can, you can use a biscuit tin for a fraction of the cost and exactly the same effect (oily vapour goes in; oil collects at the bottom, and vapour escapes from the top). I'm pretty sure DD Autosports used an empty beer can on Craig's car, but a biscuit tin probably looks a little neater.
It's not something you need. If you don't get a lot of oil in the inlet system, then it's probably an overkill; if you're pushing the engine on the track and drag strip, it could prove useful.
