Nothing wrong with buying both if funds permit. I use both and to be honest there are still plenty of things that can go to rats with using a fixed spool so neither route is pain free. Without a doubt some casting lessons (with either type of reel or both) would be money well spent and most casting instructors will help you with fishing techniques as well. The learning curve can be expensive on line, tackle and time and the investment in some casting lessons will get you competent much quicker so will pay for themselves in the long term.
