I want a Cyclocross bike but I'm not sure I need it.....

Hey people, I have been reading up on the Cyclocross bikes this year and I decided to look at one as I sometimes ride on light gravel / sand-dirt mix. I found a OK / less than good condition Fuji Cross Pro (2005) at a pawn shop for a very good price. I have drove towards this bike about 4 times and turned back around as I'm not sure I need it. I own a couple of mountain bikes, a light weigh hybrid, a couple of nice road bikes at this very time. The Fuji isn't mint condition. It has some scratches, needs new cables and a few other bad places / pieces that I may replace if I get the bike. I don't expect to ride it very often but it looks like something I would enjoy if the conditions are right. My question is: Do any of you Cyclocross owners find that your not riding your bike as often as you thought? Does using this bike only a couple of times a year really warrant a purchase? Is there ever a time where you are riding a hybrid / mountain bikes that you wish you had your Cyclocross?
