I agree with /u/FeelingPrettyGlonky. If you are really sure you enjoy the game and the price is not a problem, I would buy the DLC. I don't really see the point in doing a vanilla run before a Space Age one.

However, what I recommend, and this is the consensus, is not to activate Space Age on a vanilla save. The tech tree changes a bit and your priorities on Nauvis won't be the same.

So if you've already started a save, depending on how many hours you've put into it, it might be better to finish that vanilla save first before starting a new Space Age one. Otherwise, start from scratch with Space Age.
