Had front balanced to stop vibration which it did. Should I have rear balanced and what benefits do I get from that or is it just 10 bucks wasted? Thanks guys

Even if you don't feel the difference, it will help your tires last longer. I'd say it's worth $10.

help or not, many might claim that is irrelevant....

One thing I do know for sure...it CANNOT hurt.

If you plan to rotate your tires, then you should certainly balance the rear wheels.
