Unless you want machine-readable responses, or some other very specific need, the benefits of a fine-tuned model aren't really going to be that much better than a prompt that asks for the style you want along with an example or two. It also raises the barrier to entry quite a bit, since the majority of computers that can run the model aren't capable of training on it.
Even if you're using OpenAI's models, gpt-3.5-turbo is going to be much better (cheaper, bigger context window, higher quality) than any of their models that can be fine-tuned.
But if you're able to fine-tune a local model, then a combination of fine-tuning and embedding is probably going to give you better results than embedding alone.
