Costs about $24.00 altogether... Should I bother with floor pump?

Nothing is wrong with just using the mini frame pump. How many times have you had to pump up your tires? Do this: deflate both your tires and pump it back up with the mini/frame pump. Then evaluate the need for a floor pump, it will be easier to make a determination after the experience.
