I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on the true fundementals of the game and wanted to use the sit and go's to pratice, learn and gain experience.

Not less, but different. A good cash game player folds and folds and folds, a lot. You can actually sit at a Party NL table and push all in with AA and make money. (Somebody will call.) I've got stats on rocks with 8% VP$iP who are making money. I doubt very many SNG players are making money seeing only 8% of hands. You have to play a bit more hands to make a little more money, but it can be done in a cash game.
However, I doubt many SNG players can translate their skills into crushing a cash game. If anything, they'd LAG it up and get hurt.
Different skill set.
