Component and RGB on a set that supports both will look almost exactly the same.
In asking if it is worth it to transcode RGB to component for a set that supports the latter but not the former, you have to take into consideration how sharp of a picture that set provides.

If it is a cheaper set that supports component but isn't very sharp, holding off until you get a dedicated RGB monitor with a nice sharp picture may be advisable.
If the component capable set you already have provides a good and sharp image, getting a transcoder to tide you over may be a choice that you'd want to make.

I am simply saying that if what he currently has produces a softer picture and he already plans on getting an RGB monitor at some point, it'd be better to save the money to get the monitor sooner rather than buying equipment to doctor up the lower quality set and will be made obsolete at the point he gets said monitor.

"Does my TV have a good enough picture that I think that I'd be happy with spending ~$50-70 on hardware to get the most out of it while I search for its upgrade/replacement, or do I think that I'd have buyer's remorse because I diverted money that could have been used on said replacement to prop up a so-so TV?"

Unless you've got a real piece of shit TV, or have access to $10 PVMs, it's not really a decision you can ask someone to make for you.
How do YOU like the picture your CRT provides? Do you think you'd be happy spending money on making it better?
