When I got my Baritone Uke, I didn't pick up my acoustic for over a month..
And it even past my mind for a half second that maybe all I needed was the Uke, I mean it brings out a different way to play, The baritone teaches you cheat chords for acoustic...
And it's has a special tone...
BUT
It makes you work for a full tone....with a UKE you have four strings and a lot of empty sound spots..(Not sure how to describe it- make a loose sound?)
It will make you a better acoustic player for the reasons above
Because if you can make the UKE sounds good and interesting it will make your acoustic playing even better..

That said once I picked back up my acoustic... I haven't touched the UKE in an over a month

I would buy a lower good model to see if it is for you... I got a Makala Baritone for $80 on Amazon. And I think it does what it's supposed to do...

PS
The baritone is easy for acoustic players...as the four strings are the same as your guitar... So most chords are the same and the ones that aren't is where you learn cheat chords that will carry over to your acoustic...

In my sig..I'm playing the MAKALA And I know it's not greeat LOL New song..New UKE...
