It is a slamdunk. You practically have to have 8-9 times the average chips before taking the insurance is redundant.

Item #15 in the FAQ discusses add-ons briefly ,can't find anything in the Anthology.

There is been extensive discussion on this issue in the Books and Publications forum about this. (It's since turned into a more extensive discussion.) Sklansky's advice in TPFAP says to take the add-on unless you'll be significantly above average after everyone else adds on. Arnold Snyder in his book The Poker Tournament Formula advises always adding on. He's written a few articles on his website here (look for links to the article on re-buys and possibly the valuation of chip articles on the lower left). Do a search on "Snyder" in the books forum and you'll find lots of the argument for and against.
