This thread is getting pretty long but I can't help but chime in.

If money is an issue (i.e. you're not part of the 1%), then I think 
buying a used rig is a great way to go.  If you don't like it or decide 
to upgrade then you can sell it for close to what you paid for it. 
Think of it as renting a radio while you get some operating experience. 
After you've been on the air for a year or so, you will have a much 
better idea of what you want and can make a more-informed purchase.

Something like a used K2/100 would make a great starter rig.
