Anyone using a quad cortex / mini just as an effects pedal? Overkill?

Hey folks, I'm in the market for a multi-effects unit. I am a somewhat crappy home player. I will never play live, I'm not sure if I'd take the time to learn about 'captures' or 'IR's' (hey I'm old!!!). But I would like a really great effects unit to allow me to get rid of my boss pedals, one that would allow me to download other user's presets/tones etc. I'd likely plan to play it through either headphones, or sometimes through a power amp like a Seymour Duncan Powerstage into a Mesa 2x12 cabinet.

I can afford a QC, but am I crazy for getting it for this? Is it totally overkill? Would something like a Headrush Core give the same sounds, same available downloads of tones from a cloud of other users??

Thx!
