I transitioned from a cooled modded DSLR to mono CCD, and I must say, that these two are not that far different. The principles are exactly the same, each have their pros and con's and the biggest difference is the price.
Yes, I learnt a lot using the DSLR first, but I dont think diving into CCD is that much more daunting , each pose their own difficulties not just in acquisition, but the right choice of software, equipment and processing techniques.
I guess its easy to say this in hindseit, but if I had my time again I would have gone straight into CCD mono imaging, would have saved quite a few bucks as well.
