Is it worth me getting 180mm cranks
No. Just lower you gearing to provide whatever change of gain ratio you were hoping to achieve with longer cranks.

Is it worth me getting 180mm cranks for my singlespeed mtb? I'm 6'7" and all my other bikes have 175mm. I wouldn't normally consider it, but attempting to haul my considerable bulk up the hills recently had me wondering if the extra leverage would be of any noticeable benefit.
I'm probably going to ignore Mr Lennard Zinn's suggestion of 200mm + crank length though :-/
I'll be getting new cranks anyway, so not buying them purely for marginal gains.
