What do I need to know my boys?
Are they worth rhe effort? What is the effort?

I hear you on that, I paid 35.00 for a fake live tree even though it looks amazing, I won't get rid of it I don't think but will use it as part of a scheme im conjuring up in my head.Also one thing to consider is if yer paying local LFS prices for Silk plants (proper) its actually cheaper to go live if yer looking at item cost individually, for a LOW to MED. lighted tank.
Also the amount of knowledge gleaned from having live plants will be nothing but more bennefiting to you as a keeper, and youll enjoy your hobbie more
You sometimes have to clean live plants as well to remove algae but yes live plants are a lot better not only the look they actually contribute to the tankI would rather build a moss tree than buy a fake... Just so expensive for something you have to clean.
If you go insane and want to become a major plant farmer you can try to learn from Tom Barr
Aquasoil
Injected CO2
High Light
Weekly water changes
Ferts 2-3x weekly

( not my tank, this is Tom's)
I didn't think Tom Barr used overly excessive lighting. In fact I recall that he classed his lighting as low albeit his idea of low may fall in to others category of medium.
Did you happen to gather any information on his lighting during your visit? Just curious [emoji846]
