Is the Lycos paid inclusion worth it?

It depends on where your site is ... if you have just created it and the domain is new and unseen then submitting to a good group of directories and PFI programs will help push the site out and assist in how it is indexed by other engines as well.
Seprately the Lycos PFI works for some... you have to test for your niche to see if the ROI is worth it.

my opinion is that you can get links from a few active sites and submit to a ton of directories to get indexed quick and help the rankings. (I usually get the home page indexed within 2 days at the most and the site usually follows within a week unless it is a large dynamic site)

Getting Google to do that is a little tougher... but a PFI at Lycos is not going to help.
You have to look at the traffic that Lycos sends and how well it converts.
