alldata diy website -- worth it?

I have a 2000 C70 convertible I bought used from a dealer. I asked the service writer about buying a service manual, and was given a website I no longer remember. I was stunned to see that I could "subscribe" to this website for several hundred dollars per year.

In surfing around, I've run into the alldata website (http://www.alldata.com/products/diy/index.html). $24.95 per year seems reasonable. I'm not a major mechanic, but I like to change my own filters, do my own brakes, try to troubleshoot my own problems, etc. Access to technical service bulletins alone seems worth something, especially if they are kept up to date.

Has anyone subscribed to this service? Good/bad deal? Any other alternatives?
