I've always wanted to take the trans-siberian (except I'd take the route that ends in Mongolia, from which you can take a train to Beijing), but I wouldn't say that it's something you "better" use if you value your time at all and aren't traveling for pleasure.
There are one-way nonstop flights from Moscow to Vladivostok for $200, which takes only 8-9 hr and is half the price of the train.
