I took one from the local Exo rep. I'm not sure if that's normal for them to do that or not. It may have been simply out of professional courtesy. In any event, if you're offered one, take it. As for purchasing one, I wouldn't say it's a required piece of gear unless you need comms or doing Hazmat. Actually, depending on the model, there may be a course. I took one from the local Exo rep.

I have considered getting a full face mask since I dive in cold water a lot. If my wife and I ever pony up for a communicaiton system, then we'll need the full face mask. For warm water vacation diving, I wouldn't want to use the full face mask. There are no special classes for the full face mask that I know of.
