Get yourself a handful of them and try them out, see if you like them. No amount of other opinions is useful other than what you think. I bought some paints (not AP) after reading loads of rave reviews, convinced they would be perfect, and hated them and sold them on. Try before you buy would be my advice, especially if you are thinking mega set. If you pick up a couple of common colours and a metallic or two, maybe a wash, or get a starter set from ebay. A worthwhile investment I would think.
