Do I need a WSM or not?

If you have to ask, then you shouldn't get one. You are not "READY" yet!!

Phil,
Get it. I did a lot of research before buying mine. I did my first cook yesterday(12-16-04) and everything turned out perfect--and I never smoked anything before in my life (other than cigars). I'm doing my second smoke Sunday.
Take the plunge and get it. Amazon will say it ships in 24 hrs. but with the free shipping it will take about 10 days before it arrives.
Like the saying on TVWB site sates: Buy the Best and Only Cry Once.
 
As far as charcoal smokers go, the WSM does about the best job of controlling the teperature. With most other charcoal smokers, there are issues with not having adjustable vents, not enough ventilation, or charcoal bowls that cause the coals to smother in their own ash. The WSM makes it easy to maintain temperatures for long cooks.

You should have no trouble on a 45º day keeping the temp in the cooking range.
