And, as a rider, I’ve got a Discover rewards offer right now for 30% off for up to $15, but obviously I could use that on other stuff.
So. Here’s my question: Is it worth it? That is, would I use it and enjoy it? I don’t have a need for it, obviously. I’m already fully Echoed, but would the screen add a little something to my life?

We just got a video doorbell that works with Alexa, and uses our Echo devices as doorbell chimes. If I understand correctly, if we had a Show, it would chime and also show the video, which might be nice.
A very niche application, but that's the only feature I can think of that might get me to spend money on a Show or any additional Echo device right now.
BTW, while I haven't had it long enough to comment on it's battery life, cold weather performance, or durability, We're really liking this Eufy battery powered video door bell. Cheap, small, no recurring fees or any cloud access required (though there is an option for it if you want it).
