I guarantee you won't regret it. Persona 3 and 4 are some of the best RPGs on the PS2.

Ahh, perfect then! I need to cut back on spending on games since I had a modest backlog in the nineties before I sold most of my games and moved, and I don't want to get caught up in that again, but the Persona series was one I always had wanted to try.

FES is essentially a director's cut of Persona 3. A Square Enix-esque "Final Mix", if you will. Probably the biggest addition is "The Answer", an epilogue chapter about Aigis, one of P3's main characters. There's no reason not to buy it over the original game.

I appreciate the recommendation! I'll scour eBay and CAG and see if I can find a decently priced copy of Persona 3. FES comes with an artbook and soundtrack, right? Any additional content? I am a fan of physical extras, but I was just wondering if there were any other dungeons or such added.

Both games are excellent in their own right, and it's a difficult choice to make. In the end, I myself prefer Persona 3, for a few reasons. If you do end up getting it, obviously FES is the best way to go.
