Extra effort? How is it extra effort to use a template scheme? You reduce the number of places you have to maintain information down to (ideally) just one. Tiles is even better, by the way. It takes things one step further and lets you seperate your layout definition from it's actual presentation. This is very powerful - not only do you gain the ability to inherit definitions (layouts) and only modify what you really need to, you also gain the ability to write you definitions in the XML config file and do away with any JSP files that were once dedicated just to specifying layouts. It is a bit more "work" (learning - brain-work - phew! hard brain work at first too, but it pays off!) initially, but ... you have to try it and use it to come to a genuine realization of the power it has. Once you have, you won't want to use anything else!
