aaahhh, welcome to the club Frosty.. the first viewing of Saturn is truly one you'll never forget. What altitude was it at when you saw it?
It's not a great year for Saturn for us in the south, it doesn't get much above 35-40 degrees.. make sure you check it out at it's highest when it's in the north.. down low on the horizon the seeing is shocking and it's hard to get a crisp focus to be able to see the cassini division and banding on the disc.
Jupiter is great too, but I agree not quite like Saturn.. once you see the cloud bands of Jupiter it looks better, and the 4 moons give it some depth too.. I haven't yet seen the GRS or any moon transit, but will be aiming to image one or both of those in the next few weeks cause i'll have the laptop for about a month.
