I haven't felt the need for that yet. I've been able to do everything I need to do with Alby. I just have to be careful not to leave too many sats there. It covers all my needs. If I ever feel the need, I'll open a channel.
Do you run a core node tho?

I'm a Bitcoin Core user, but I only fire it up when I need to send or receive Bitcoin.

Given my usage, it doesn't make sense to have the node online all day. Energy costs are high here.
