Cant really decide, I want to get a more accurate preview of what it might be like across calibrated monitors and for printing.

I know this is a broad topic but I'd prefer to know if anyone can just tell me if they have used one and what it was like for printing perhaps or just any experience really. Are they worth it? Im spending a bit too much doing practice prints right now and its starting to mount up. Thanks!
