foreseason- You have a lot to think about.
I can honestly speak from the viewpoint of customer service, don't do it. As a hobbyist, I would never recommend this or the P3 unit(s). Perhaps, to get things rolling, try a safer and more tried and true form of DJI product, like the Phantom 2- v2 or v3. These units have proved themselves time and again. So what, it uses a GoPro! For the normal person, with normal gear, this works very well and provides incredible photos and video, depending on the model of camera used.
In addition, the price tag is considerably easier on the wallet for just getting started. Once you have retained and maintained the ability to control the lower end device, perhaps a more proven (not the Inspire which, in my humble opinion as an owner, is not) unit will be available. Relax, the FAA is still several months out (or longer) on their decisions.
Allow the learning and enjoyment to kick in first because, once you do get into the upper units, you will be doing nothing but watching the birdie while your secondary camera person and spotter get to see all of the pre-production goods.
There are some truly incredible pilots on this forum but, they have years of experience...be wary my friend, as $4k can zip away in a flash if you are not trained and/or prepared for the worst scenario and even then, the best operator can lose one.
Not trying to anything but keep it real. The above is my humble opinion based on fact and experience, nothing more.
Either way, many hopes for finding the best solution.
