Kishor - I think it comes down to the question, 'Who are these personas for?' If you will be the only one who will be looking at them I say 'skip it.'
However, if there is a development team involved, or other stakeholders who could benefit from having them at hand it might make sense to build one (quick and dirty). I say this because I have employed Cooper's (http://tinyurl.com/on8lln) methodology of having personas built and present at all times when stakeholders are making design decisions. After all it's not the IX Designer who most benefit from the personas. Many times it's the stakeholders who will apply their 'elastic user' to fit whatever opinion they have on a given matter, rather than matching up requirements against a consistent set of needs. Best of luck, Will . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
