Is the Instax Mini Evo worth the extra money over the Mini 12?

The consensus on r/instax and from Digital Camera World is that the Evo is worth it if you want to preview shots before printing, print from your phone, and apply lens/film effects. If you just want point-and-shoot fun and don't mind 'wasting' a frame occasionally, the Mini 12 delivers the same film quality for roughly a third of the price.
