Is it worth the time and effort to grow bananas from seed or better to get plants ?

I have, many years ago with the excellent advice from a member ( Tang ) who has since passed on, I'm sure there are members here that remember him, he was a good man. It was my first Zebrina, she lasted a few years until we had a harsh winter and I had the heat on in my apartment constantly and I over watered her, it broke my heart.
Is it worth it yes, it may or may not put out fruit but the satisfaction of it growing is worth it :08:

We have grown a lot this spring from seed, along with ensete. Very easy, very quick to germinate and grow like wild. They are now all in the 2 foot stage, some almost three. Sikkimensis, acuminata, unknown, Ensete (2 different)

With seed it more of a educational journey.
I did seed the first time this winter and I learned a few things about the banana process.
