Lutron CFL dimmer---worth it?

We bought Lutron Diva dimmers for our new kitchen, but would love to use CFLs instead of incandescents. I noticed at a store the other day that Lutron now makes a "CFL dimmer" that purports to be better for dimmable CFLs and LEDs. It's double the price of the dimmers we already have (not to mention that I suspect it's too late to return those!) Is this a gimmick, or have they actually modified something with the wiring that would allow us to use dimmable CFLs with this dimmer? (We have a house full of the traditional dimmers and have had pretty lousy success using the dimmable CFL bulbs in them, so I do know what's out there, but am not at all excited about it...) Thanks!
