I fully understand the difference in "need" and "want", but still, these two statements here should settle the issue, on whether you should get one. You already have
much better bikes for the riding you say you'll do with it, so after the honeymoon quickly wears off, it won't be one of your go-to bikes, and will start gathering dust.
Fat bikes are (IMO) largely a fad, with fairly limited and specific uses. Plus, if you're anything like me, you're looking at stocking up on some reserve tubes and tires, which is more cost, and stuff to store somewhere, and that you generally won't get your money back out of if you try to sell/trade it.
This is all JMHO, but as experience has shown, I'll probably get hammered for it.
