schweser CFA® Level 1

I am about to purchase Schweser CFA® prep material based on recommendations from discussion on this site but am trying to decide if I should purchase Schweser notes or the Essential Study. It looks like the primary difference is the ES includes the Qbank. The ES is $250 more than Notes. Is the Qbank worth the extra $250?
