best starter rotary

[pinkfro]

Ive been lurking for quite some time now and have finally decided to give rotaries a shot. for the last few months I planned on getting a neotat vivace and a few motors with it but am leaning more towards a rapier 3 now because of the options with give and stroke length it seems like it would make it very versatile. oh yeah the mini cranker was an option too, one im leaning heavily towards
Is there a huge learning curve to using rotaries? Will a rotary liner really ever line as well as coils? Would it be best to start with a no give machine like the vivace? To be honest the coil machines i am using right now are greenies. I actually love the greenie color packer. I bought a paco rollins liner and didnt really care for it.

I guess im just worried that all the bells and whistles will be too much for me to get used to and ill get frustrated and give up on them.
