Default Should I add a hanging pocket or not? Opinions humbly requested

I am making a quilt to (attempt to) sell at a a craft fair. It will be around 48" square when done, with fairly dense and artistic (she says immodestly) quilting. It could be used as a lap quilt, a crib/baby quilt or as a wall hanging. For the first two uses a hanging pocket would get in the way, and obscure the back side (where the quilting shows clearly) making it less reversible. But if someone wants to buy it to use as a wallhanging, having a hanging pocket might be a desireable feature. Can't decide which way to go on this, since adding the pocket is a fair amount of extra work...and taking it off after it has been added would be a hassle for someone buying the quilt!

What do you think?

(The quilt is very similar to this one, because I am using up leftover bits. My new one is less orange, because most of my orange went into the first one!)
