Lounge - Manchester Terminal 3

I travelled from Manchester Airport Terminal 3 with Ryanair last October. It was extremely busy. As a family of 5 we couldn't get in to any of the restaurants despite having 2 hours before our flight time and struggled to even find 5 seats together to sit down. It wasn't fun.
Against my better judgement we flying again from terminal 3 next week. You can't pre book tables at restaurants, I've checked so we are considering the lounge.
I feel like the lack of space and facilities in the airport forces people to pay extra and book the lounge. Is it worth £156 for a family of 5? Has anyone used it before? We'd probably pay £90+ for breakfast and a soft drink each.
Just wondering how long we would actually get to spend in there because of security and being unable to drop bags off before 2 hours.

Not regarding the lounge, but just to remind you: you still have to walk all around the building to the terminal 1 entrance, go through security there, and then back internally to where you would have been. Takes a good 15 t0 20 mins depending on how fast you walk.
