Is it worth buying a C2?

Hi all. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a C2 rower (or should I say, asking for it for my 21st birthday). I row competitively with a club and do about 2-2.5 hours of steady state erging a week plus one hard erg. My club is only a 15 minute walk away and I’m also a member of a gym that is a 5 minute walk away, however I’m moving next year and will be much further from both the gym and club, and I can’t drive. I would definitely be buying 2nd hand, but was wondering what people’s experiences are when you’re in a club and get one, as I’m worried if I got a personal erg I would just never go to the club for ergs again, however I also feel like it would motivate me to do more training as sometimes I am so tired after work I just can’t face walking to the club (but maybe that’s me being over optimistic). Also, those who have bought 2nd hand ergs, what are things to look out for? And are there certain models you would say are getting a bit old and should avoid?
