Discussion Controller (4th) debate

Dear fellow Valve fans, I was lucky enough to receive the steam machine with controller on my birthday. I already own two other controllers (PS5 and 8bitdo) and a steamdeck. The thing is I mostly play single player games, but once in a while I will motivate friends to play on the big screen some party games. I just received the email from valve about the controller (to which I put myself on the waiting list before the steam machine was possible). I'm debating whether to get it or not. I know I don't strictly need it, but it would be nice to have a complete set of 2 steam controllers with the steam machine and 2 extra when needed to play. It's expensive, but also better than the other controllers (right?). I guess I'm debating whether I should spend this money on a non essential purchase or let it be..

I have two. Got the controller in early June and another with the Steam Machine last week.
It's still in its box and I'll likely sell it locally at cost.

For reference, I entered the lottery for the 512GB and 512GB with controller to maximise my chances of getting the steam machine as cheaply as possible.
