The Aeropress makes it so that I can take half the materials that go into a crap-ass urn of coffee and turn them into a kick-ass cup of coffee at work. Godsend. I have a 3rd party metal filter, so I don’t have to worry about running out of the paper filters.

metal filters aren't as effective at removing certain oils as paper, but are good enough to separate out the grounds.
Do you want oils removed?
Very much a personal preference / tastes may vary for of thing.
If you're used to French press, you'll be used to the oils being part of the taste/mouthfeel experience of coffee, whereas coming from pourover (or the conventional batch brewers that dominate commercial or non-enthusiast home markets) some find them off-putting.
No right or wrong answer.
