Is learning unnatty worth it?

Starting to learn rails and spins — is it worth spending the time to learn to do these unnatural?

For example, I learned how to 3 last year. I feel like it would take me more time to learn how to do an unnatural 3 than to learn a natural 7. Is it worth learning the unnatural 3?

It will also make freeride tricks so much easier if you start skiing big mountain. There's so many hits in big mountain terrain where a spin works perfectly one direction but would be super awkward spinning the other way. Plus it gives you so many more branches on the tree of trick options than if you can only slide and spin one way. You can have a mellow day where you learn new tricks and grabs your unnatural way on smaller features instead of having to hit bigger features to learn more tricks your natural direction.
