If orcs go back to stacking conversion, then yes. Otherwise, sensation stone isn't really that impressive anymore. I've booted it out of my locker completely. For the record, 225 conversion points gets you:
Human: +20% attack
Dwarf: +3 HP per level
Orc: +4 base attack
Elf: +3 MP
Halfling: 3 health potions
Gnome: 3 mana potions
Goblin, being stacking, is variable. However, with Amulet of Yendor in the game I'm not too concerned with the sensation stone's potential in that respect. Otherwise, none of these are particularly oustanding. Most are exactly on par with various mid-range non-locker-worthy items, such as dwarven gauntlets, fine sword, and keg of health/mana. The dwarf and elf respectively aren't much better than just using a troll heart or pendant of mana. I'd much sooner take a better locker item and prep compression to save space.
I think you could make a very strong argument that, with both the stacking Orc and the Conversion Seal removed, the old 300 value is perfectly fine. A powerful top-end prep, for certain, but not a no-brainer.
