Full body paint? It it worth it besides the looks?

I've had both and much prefer full paint. After 3-4 years you'll find yourself working hard to keep a shine on the gelcoat (been there, done that). The decals will eventually fade and the edges will loosen and curl. Full paint is just like on a car or truck. Still looks good after many years and easy to maintain. If you keep the rig more than 4-5 years you'll regret not having full paint. JMHO
