Of course the spinner will give you smoother air flow around the prop hub 
and contacting the front of the cowling. This will also allow smooth air to 
pass over your cowl which all equates to a more aerodynamic aircraft which 
results in improved flight performance i.e. an increase in your top end 
speed. I have flown with and without a spinner and noticed a few mph 
increase in top end. If you mount a spinner properly with a front and rear 
bulkhead, you should not loose a spinner in flight. Always inspect your 
spinner before flight for cracks, etc. I have lost a spinner in flight due 
to using a cheap spinner and not deburring the cutouts I made for the prop. 
This caused a crack to form and I did not inspect it prior to flight. Here 
is a link to a photo of my lost spinner and some more info on the incident:
