Should i get the R3 or the R5?

So i've been simracing for 4 years now since 2021 using my old Logitech G29 and i want something better, i mainly race formula categories and GT3. Looking at the R3 and R5 their prices aren't that different in hindsight but i'm also on a college student budget, i saw alot of people commenting that the R3 is mainly for beginners who are completely new to simracing in general and i have concerns whether it'll be enough for me or i will need more torque, but down the line i'm sure i will upgrade to something like an R9 or R12, i just want to know if the difference between R3 and the G29 will be significant or not
