Females definitely have different personalities, but I wouldn't say they're more work. Just a different kind of work! My male had aggression and marking issues that I had to address. My female never had either of those. But she's sneaky. She likes stirring up the other dogs in the house just for fun -- stealing prized toys, barking just to get the other to bark. She's also quite the watchdog and will wake me up every time she hears a noise in the house.
You might consider a female just for the adventure -- something new to appreciate. Or get both!
