Woo for which grill?

In the next two weeks i'll be getting both a LBGE and a Minimax. I'm kind of hesitant to buy a bunch of accessories besides the plate setter I'm getting for both and hope I can find some things to cook as is. However, I can see the benefit I think of a woo. So, if I were get one for just one grill, which should it be and why?

    I would pass on the plate setter and get a Woo and stones for the large.  Or an AR if you have the funds.  Then add a Woo later to the MM; I believe those come with the PS already, so focus on indirect capability for the large.

    Get the woo and AR out of the gate if you have the funds.  You will appreciate them just as much and will save the money on the plate setter.

    I checked out the differences between the woo and ar on the ceramic grill store site. It's not a matter of having the funds but rather wanting to spend them. I don't. It seemed pretty clear that the ps woo was preferable for me. I don't cook all the things that a lot of you guys do. But I do want to be able to cook direct and indirect and change easily. So the woo seems like it might be worth it. And if I like it I can buy it for the other grill. 

    Now, you guys do bring up an interesting point about the plate setter vs stones. I guess I need to look at cost. Can you tell me the pros and cons of choosing between those?

    OK so it appears the CGS has an oval stone for $43 which works with the pswoo. I think it's about $20 cheaper than the Egg plate setter. So, for cooking indirect, what does the polyester do that this stone won't? And I'd like to cook ribs which this seems to be made specifically for. Are there any advantages of the pores writer?
