Another "moving up" post

[mwilli31]

I've been reading a lot of posts recently about moving from .50/1 to 1/2 and how some have found the transition pretty difficult. I personally have yet to play Party .50/1 but have a decent poker background. I've pretty much crushed games up to .25/.50 (which I know isn't saying much) and have spent the last several months casino whoring to build a BR while at the same time reading and rereading SSH, ITH, TOP. I also recently bought PT. Now finally to my question: With a bankroll sufficient enough to start playing at 2/4, should I still just move up to .50/1 and get some experience so I can go to 1/2, OR simply start off playing 1/2 to avoid what some are saying is a tough transition from the looseness of .50/1 to the so-called "rock garden" of 1/2?

Comments or suggestions greatly appreciated.
