The big thing is that spotting drills are only a slight improvement over center drills. How much of that improvement you actually see, will depend greatly on the material your working with and the machine your working on. If your working close to your machines maximum capability you will probably see the difference, if you are bellow that you probably won't.
for example. with my little 8" lathe, if I use a center drill I will get chatter in harder material, or with larger drill sizes. If I use a spotting drill, I either get no chatter or significantly less than I would get with the center drill.
