I completely understand Mr. Bobbo. When I first got really serious about sharpening I basically used a hole saw to cut a large diameter hole in the side of my wallet and hooked it up to the dust collector hose. It very efficiently removed all existing discretionary funds and a bit more. 
A lot of those $$$ were wasted on equipment that I no longer use. Now that you have a much better understanding of what it all means, you can get it right this time around!
I went through the exact same process as you and many other have done. I think in some ways that process can be chocked up to learning. R&D so to speak. However If I had known then what I know now and someone could have just pointed me in the right direction at the start... That said, I probably would have done it the the same way that I did as I had all the exact same concerns that you express. Now I know that I would have actually spent way less in the long run by spending a bit more at the start.
But... hang in there and stay tuned. If all goes well there should be some interesting news coming in the next couple of weeks concerning the Kally and knife sharpening.
I am very interested in what you mean when you say, "I'm a little concerned about sharpening angles." Could you kindly elucidate?
