If you can live with the lack of power, then no, it is not necessary. If you hate the lack of power and want to restore some performance, then yes, it is necessary. Only you can answer that.

What ratio you go to is also a preference, but the recommendations above are a good place to start. For a brand, most are still coming out of asia, so it's all about price and warranty.
