Hey Shawn,
I was also looking into getting Substance Painter to complement Blender for a while. I decided against it for a few reasons.
1) I also got the BPainter add on and it helped improve my workflow on painting textures on different layers.
2) Quixel Mixer 2020 is free and is growing with each update to catch up to Substance.
Everyone’s needs are different. Time is money. If Substance will save time than that can be worth it.
I would recommend demoing each and find what works best for your workflow. Good luck!
