I am a bit late to this discussion, but as someone who has played for less than a year and finally got his Ise Kai Ni all I can say is that she is amazing. Think of her as a Yura Kai Ni that is upscaled to BB level, except that she isn't nearly as stat gimped.

Ise Kai Ni can reach the firepower cap with 2x 41 protos AND perform an opening air strike with two dive bombers + a Zuiun (there are a lot of hidden equipment stat bonuses). Thanks to her 5 slots you can adapt that setup to pretty much any situation.

At the other end of the spectrum you can also use her as a fighter mule with only marginally less air power than Kaga (277 vs. 293 on a full Reppuu loadout), but with the inate ability to make single attacks during day and night (with CA level daytime firepower). The small fighter slots are great for newer players that don't have that many fancy fighters, allowing you to slot in stat boosting variants without sacrificing much air power.

On top of that flexibility, she comes with good gear by default and the future option obtain even better stuff via her quest lines.

I'd say Ise Kai Ni is rightfully at the top end of this list. If you have that spare catapult lying around, she is certainly one of the best BP investments in the game. Heck, I'd even go so far as to make the heretic statement that you could consider getting her over your second Crane.

When comparing her to the Fusou sisters, it's not really a competition. She makes them obsolete. Yes, the equipment you get from the Fusous is nice and cheaper in the short term, but Ise offers unique long-term useability. Honestly, I can't actually recall the last time I sortied my Fusou Kai Ni. If you have no hope to get the materials required for Ise any time soon and you really want a strong BBV, maybe consider getting one of the Fusous. Maybe.
