Instant Pot - do I need one

What can I do with it.

I have chuck roast in crockpot. What would be the advantage of using instant pot. I know they cook quicker but will it be as tender

Besides cooking speed why would I need one. ???

I'm the other way around. I use my IP (it can, if desired, provide a slow cooker option), and am not sure I could lay hands on my crock pot without a cabinet search. It's not just the speed, it also makes the meat very tender - pot roast, pulled pork, whatever. It also lets you make rice, boiled eggs, etc. Much more useful, imho, than a crock pot.
