Given I'm a still student pilot I don't want to spend too much on my
first set and then decide I want something different down the track.


Not sure I can follow that logic. Why waste money now if you know now
that you'll want something better later? Why don't you deserve what you
want now?

I wouldn't buy anything that's not ANR. Entry level ANR can be bought
for 250 $.
