Hi,
It would pay off including the extra charge for reserved seating, plus on top of that there is the convenience of not having to constantly go and buy tickets at every major station.
But you are missing a few good spots that would also increase your savings. While in the Tokyo area, take a day trip to see Nikko and Kamakura. The Pass is still valid so you can save even more. You can also use the Pass to take the JR Yamanote Line, which is not expensive in itself but is covered by the Pass and goes to many popular tourist areas.
Also Fukuoka has a number of great places to see if you can fit them in. The Nanzoin Temple is a hidden jewel that few have even heard of, yet it one of the best temples you will ever visit in the country:

Generally one day is enough to see Hiroshima City, and 1 day for Miyajima works well too.
You don't say when you are traveling, but hopefully it will be after the Himeji renovations are completed. Also you can zip over to Osaka when the temples and shrines in Kyoto close around 5PM to enjoy the night life. Dotonbori is a great place for food and the Osaka atmosphere.

Sounds like a great trip.
