alanww, I am leaning towards the English. Even though the anglo seems to be more intuitive for me to play, I'm beginning to see the advantages of the English system. What I really want is to learn both! But I can only own one at a time. I'm hoping in a few months to acquire one and until then, I'll practice on the loaners (squeak squeak!).

Thanks for all the advice!
