Better Bottle

Equipment
Hey, it’s the holiday time and what homebrewer doesn’t put a few pieces of homebrewing equipment on their list?
I have been eyeing a Better Bottle Carboy for a while. Here’s a picture of it:
I probably will still use a bucket for primary fermentation, but for beers that need to be conditioned I will transfer the beer into this vessel. This carboy is made of plastic so it’s lighter and easier to clean than glass. It’s relatively inexpensive too…around 24 bucks.
For twice the money, I could ask for the same carboy but one with a spigot on the bottom of it. Here a picture of what I mean:
The question: Is the spigot really worth twice the money?

i’ve got two right now. just started using glass as my primary. i love getting my brew into the better bottle and easily lifting it to move. cleaning them is for sure a plus.
i’ll be looking to get an extra as soon as i use both of mine for some hard apple cider. yummie!
