And I can only add - when you have decided on the tools that fit your bill then do by all means spend the time to learn them. Any craftsman does this and knows why. It seems a waste of time and tedious but it is what distinguishes the good craftsmen from the bad and gets you out of a sticky situation. And, this has nothing to do with the tool itself - you already chose that ;)
