Certainly RO water will be superior to ordinary carbon block filtered
water, but may be overkill depending on how bad your source water is. RO
filter systems use carbon block filters as their first stage since
chlorine is bad for the expensive RO membrane.

I used an RO system in my previous house where I had lousy city water
and it was great. At my current place we have co-op water that is quite
good, so I haven't added any extra filtering.
