MBAs -- Worth it?

Hey -- incoming IBD 24 SA BB. I've talked with a lot of bankers who did their MBA and while its some time before I consider that, it's one that has interested me. 

Are MBAs worth it? Are they only helpful if you are looking to use their recruiting pipelines into IB/PE etc? What are the best ways to position yourself to be at a top 10 program?

Thanks.
