I will need some aminos for 2 reasons: 1) during this cut, I will eventually be substituting red meat for all chicken. It has been my experience with my body that I need some additional aminos when I go to nearly all chicken. I have learned this the hard way. It might be just my body but that is how I respond to a lack of red meat. Without aminos, I become very lethargic on just chicken. 2) My last 4 weeks I will be adding fasted cardio first thing in the morning and then go home to eat and then do my workout a few hours later. All the research I have read is telling me that I will need some aminos following my fasted cardio. My meal between fasted cardio and my workout will be eggs/egg whites/steel cut oats and as far as I can tell, there is not enough aminos in there to prep my body for the following workout after doing fasted cardio.
Even if reason #2 doesn't make sense to most people, reason #1 is enough for me to know I need it from my past experience.

as much as people trash talk BCAA, it actually helped me and my friends with recovery alot, but hey I guess its not for everyone
I feel sipping on Gatorade trumps all peri work out. Just my experiance....
I add unlfavored bcaa's to my gatorades intra workout
If anything amino short of a full g of protein, EAA's make tons more sense, but if you are not on a cut.....just get real food in you.
I did this dance for 10yrs, BCAA/EAA amino gains are tiny, almost pointless unless you can afford to drink bcaa lemonade half the day.
