Even if you don't save that much money in reduced electricity, you will still be saving energy. You may also benefit with a quieter house, a more even temperature in the winter, and an air conditioner that doesn't need to run as much. You can't have too much insulation in a house.

I agree with what your saying. Adding insulation, will most likely cut back on the A/C and Heat operating cost and Hours of operation. Sometimes you can't always look at the time of payback for the cost of Home Improvements. There are many Home Improvements people do and there is no monetary payback. Adding insulation to a attic could be a selling point.
