Only one type of persimmon?

Okay friends,

I have one space left in my garden. I already have a Jiro type persimmon that I planted last year. I am considering putting one last fruit tree in. I notice that a lot of astringent type persimmons are opening up for fall season.

Is there that much of a difference between the Fuyu and Hachiya types? I have heard that if you leave the Fuyus long enough that they become softer, much like the astringent types. I hear that the astringent types make good puddings and sauces. Can you boil the fuyus or process them to make similar dishes or is something lost in there? Is it worth it to have one of each, or should I save the space for something else completely different like a pear?

Thanks in advance,
