Fitbit Charge or Charge HR

I am contemplating purchasing the Fitbit Charge or Charge HR. The only significant difference is the Heart Rate Monitor. Is that part really that important? I can't decide which one to get.

My husband had the charge, i have the charge HR. I run a lot, so I like to know where my heart rate is at. The other difference is the clasp. The charge HR has a buckle like a watch, and the charge snaps on. Both are great, and only a $20 difference in price.

^This. You get a heart rate monitor + a secure buckle for only a bit more money.

If you want accurate HR data during exercise, it the Charge and Surge are not the device for you.
