does it affect the sound?
is it actually worth it?

I dont see how the fretboard itself contributes to the sound of the uke. I'd be fine with the plastic one.
the plastic fretboard won't suck...I'm used to splitting hairs over sound differences.
If the difference is that small, how about variation among instruments as to soundboard thickness, finish, and structure? Couldn't that be similarly plausible factor to influence the sound?
I am no luthier of physics scientist, so perhaps someone can say something educated about the neck/fretboard vs. sound production issue, that would be a nice piece of information.
