It's still worth getting if you like the device's feature (mainly the speakers). With some cases, the phone will be quite large, so that could be a turn off for some.
While the specs of many devices are the same or similar, that doesn't necessarily mean they all perform the same. They're all running their own UI's, and while the S5 isn't slow, it may not feel as responsive some other phones (just one example).
If you're looking more for bang-for-you-buck, then I would also consider the G2, but then one could say that it's "slower" or "outdated" or whatever. You can't really look at specs anymore - you have to look at some real user impressions and phone features and determine what you personally want out of it.
In the case of the M8, with a case you still get their camera with good lowlight photos, 5MP front camera, and front speakers. So if you wanted those features, then go for it. Those features are more-or-less specific to the M8.
