This is why I'm doing my research and trying to get hands on training. If I just go and buy something (most likely the wrong one for my skill level) and just start trying to use it, I know I'll get frustrated and give it up. I'd like to give it/myself a fair chance.

I wound up being ok with them. While not a professional, nor can give you any good advice, it was a lot of fun.
So much so that I recently looked into getting back into it with my daughters.

Looks like a ton of fun! Been wanting to try it for a long time.
