Tesla Motors Club

So, my household currently has two LEAFs (one 2011, one 2015), and thus has a standard J1772 charging station. We trade off charging as-needed, and it's worked well for a few years now.

I'm replacing my LEAF (the 2011) with a Model 3, and trying to decide if it's worth adding a Tesla charger specifically for the Model 3, or just sticking to the existing charger. My main concern is that charging the M3 with the existing old-school Blink charger I got in 2011 might be slow enough to really mess up the existing 'trade off charging'.

My commute isn't bad, so I expect the M3 will only need a charge irregularly. (Though I admit, with the M3, I might be tempted to hit I-5 and visit friends in Vancouver BC or Portland OR more often.)

Do folks think it's worth the time/money to get the Tesla wall charger and install it so both cars can charge at once? I'd value some opinions before I whip out the credit card. :)
