Neuroscience Research Graduation with Distinction worth it?

I'm an undergraduate third-year premed student at Duke University and a Neuroscience major. I've been involved in research since freshman year and am currently in a Neuroscience lab. Is pursuing a senior thesis and Graduation with Distinction worth the time commitment, and would it have any benefits when applying to medical schools? Thank you for any advice.
