The reward is pretty underwhelming, especially if you're not an alchemist.
I was still learning how to "see" in-game, as it were, when I hit this bit. I marked it with a personal marker and came back after I had leveled up several times (meaning I had much more experience). I spent some hours on the couch one night finding them all, and got a headache for the way I was laying and the poor lighting in the room, which may have added to the irritation of the quest. Blackreach itself was beautiful - somewhere I'd love to explore especially if it were a full-immersion VR game. It seemed almost pointless to see the Falmer's helpers though - is there anything that's going to take me to that subterranean city later?

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Elder_Knowledge <-- main quest, which I'm guessing you did.
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Disce...ansmundane <-- concurrent to main quest, which you've done... given that you've been to black reach
Blackreach is fantastic for mining (and free random-strength soul gems), there's a named dragon there, centurians everywhere (I collect their cores, so pretty
)... but other than these: there's no reason to be here except for the artistry of the place.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
