I have a 4 stage 200 GPD RODI unit and source water pressure stays at 50 PSI.

Question, - would adding a Booster Pump be worth it to get to a more ideal pressure range of 65 PSI and would getting it up to 80 PSI be even more beneficial?

I know 50 to 65 PSI is minimum range.
 
In general, yes.
More pressure equals higher efficiency and throughput (more GPD and less waste) - up to some point where the pressure is too high and things leak or get damaged.
You can find charts and such about this but I don't have any handy to share.

Thanks. I agree with you. Been reading up on it recently. Just ordered a booster pump to stay as efficient as possible.
