         I use nothign but graphics, and love them all.  The crown graphic 
has more movements than you might think.  iMO, the greast drawback tot he 
crown graphic is the lack of a rotating back, but even then, you can mount 
one sideways on a tripod, you just do not get as agood a front rise that 
way, bu you still get some front rise.

         Anyhow, get one - great to start with, great to use even after you 
upgrade to something with more movements.  In fact, the lack of movemnts on 
the rear was - at least for me - a good teaching/learning opportunity.
good luck
