Bought my first house… so naturally I’m thinking a Big Joe should be one of my first purchases

Just bought my first home, and now that I finally have my own backyard, one of the first things I’m seriously considering buying is a Kamado Joe Big Joe.
I’ve wanted a nice charcoal grill/smoker for a while, but never really had the space to justify it. Now I do, and I’m leaning toward going all-in with the Big Joe rather than buying something smaller and wishing I’d gone bigger later.
For those of you who own one: was the Big Joe worth the money? Do you find yourself actually using the extra cooking space, or would you go with a Classic if you were buying again?
I’d like to use it for pretty much everything—brisket, ribs, pork butt, steaks, burgers, wings, pizza, etc. I’m also curious how steep the learning curve is for someone relatively new to kamado cooking.
Basically, I just bought a house and apparently my next financial decision is buying a 400+ lb ceramic grill 😂
Talk me into it—or talk me out of it.
