I would probably recommend first taking the step into DI, either ColdSpring or Lightwire, before taking the step into ORM.
Just in terms of eating the apple one bite at a time, rather than in one whole go, so to speak. I've seen a lot of people try and swallow MVC, DI and ORM all in one go, and then wonder why they get completely stuck every 3 steps they take. As long as you go one step at a time, it should be fine.
