Which one to buy while using Square Appointments (Terminal vs Reader)?

I know this is an obvious question from the website comparison page for compatibility but if I get the Terminal instead, does it matter? I would like to know what is the difference between both while using the Square Appointments? e.i. do I have to input the amount manually rather than to the Reader that's connected with the Appointment so you just click and charge, the efficiency of use, online booking affects. I really wanted to purchase the Terminal but don't want to choose it then regret if it wont work out. Comparison of Advantage and Disadvantage would be nice as I dont use the product yet.

@mardemgofficial - The Square Terminal  has the Standard Point of Sale downloaded to it which means it cannot checkout your appointments. It's best to use the reader with the Appointments app if you're looking to manage your calendar and checkout your clients.
