Yeah, it's a wise thought because it shows you are thinking for yourself. Actually, I think you already made the call, and all the thought you've put into your decision making suggests to me that you will persevere and adopt straight razor shaving as a permanent lifestyle change.
If it helps you any, I shaved this morning with a Dovo Best Quality and it performs as well as any one I have ever used.
One area that I do want to exert some influence in is eventually getting a 3" strop. Stropping properly (keeping the wrist straight while flipping the blade so that both sides are stropped equally well) took longer for me to master than the shaving or honing. Maybe you are not a klutz like me that is part right-handed and part left-handed, but I can only imagine how much more difficult if would have been for me if I had to learn the X pattern on a 2 or 2 1/2 inch strop.
