Welcome to the forum and the hobby, Jeremy.

Crashem quietly offered the best advice you could get right now: Go see the club folks. If they have a club trainer, you might not even have to buy, right away. When you do, you should take the advice of the folks who are going to help you learn.

Keep an open mind, their recommendation might not fit your concept of what you should learn on, but the help is what's important.

Good luck,
Dave Olson
