Hello
I'm a QuestBridge finalist (not an early match though), and have went through the arduous process last year. Do not do Questbridge on the hopes of getting matched early on a full scholarship. I mean, certainly its possible, its just very difficult. The reason I did questbridge was for the RD boost. However, be warned, although many of the QB schools will require you to do the QB application in addition to the school's supplement. You really are doing twice the work.
I do think that QB is beneficial (for RD round at least) because even if you have a shot of getting into the school anyway, colleges are always looking to expand their economic diversity, and they want to accept more QB kids who have low income than non QB kids who are low income just so they can say ten percent of their incoming class or so were QB finalists, making the college looking more socially diverse.
I guess it paid off for me, though its possible I would've got into my QB schools w/o QB. With QB i got into Pomona, Amherst and Northwestern.
P.S- Don't do QB with Emory- Emory's admissions office is retarded, no joke.
