Would I be missing out on much if I didn't watch the extended editions of LOTR?

I plan to purchase the 3 movies on Blu-Ray soon because I watched the first 30 mins of Fellowship and I fell in love.

I don't plan on watching The Hobbit because I've heard they're shite and try to be LOTR when they're clearly not.

So my question is will I miss out on a lot of good content if I don't watch the extended editions of these films? Time is certainly is not an issue, because I welcome sitting down for 12 hrs and losing myself in Middle-Earth.

It's just that the extended editions of the films are a tad expensive but if they're worth it then I'll save up (I'm 14 so jobless).

Thoughts?

Thanks!
