I think that there is merit in this advice...It is easy and tempting to buy “upgrades” early in the hobby. Patience is a virtue and good gear (if taken care of) will last a lifetime. Take your time learn what you like by attending viewing nights and looking through other folks gear, then and only then (in my opinion) look to upgrade
