Is it worth investing in hardware wallet?

[Marathonbet]

I'm not a big time gambler but from time to time I may have a couple of thousand dollars in my bankroll. I've read that you shouldn't keep large sums of money on bitcoin exchanges or gambling sites for extended periods in case they get hacked. For 1 or 2 thousand dollars worth of BTC do you think I should just keep the coins on my Mycelium or Airbitz wallet or should I invest in a hardware wallet like a Trezor or a KeepKey?

In my option anyone with more than a few hundred dollars worth of BTC should buy a hardware wallet. They are getting cheaper by the month. A basic Ledger HW.1, which is essentially a USB key costs just €15. A Ledger Nano costs €29 and the new Ledger Nano S with an LCD panel costs €58.

Personally I think you should opt for the Nano S because of the display. It also supports other crypto-currencies like Ethereum.
