Are sun conures worth it?

So ive been thinking about a first bird to get. Ive cared for my uncles double yellow headed amazon parrot before for months at a time so i somewhat understand how to care for birds. So far in my life ive only owned reptiles, amphibians and fish. Because a conure would seem more interactive and more "lovable" i thought about getting one. But as ive seen, caring for one surpasses the cost of most reptiles. Is it worth it? and if you could tell me about how your experiences with these birds have went, it would be appreciated
