Is the rMPP this bad?

I own an rM2 and I’ve been a hardcore user till now. I absolutely love it. However, due to the missing colours, I was planning on purchasing an rMPP soon. But I’m confused if it’s even worth it. Most of the Reddit posts involving issues are related to rMPP (such as dead pixels, ghosting issues, etc.). I also read that the backlight in the rMPP drains its battery quickly. The thing is that in my region, Paper Pro is quite expensive and if it’s not worth spending that much money, there’s no point in buying one. Let me know if it’s a misconception or the Paper Pro really “sucks”.
