I definitely recommend sticking with Quantum GIS. It's actually pretty easy to learn if you're already familiar with general spatial analysis concepts from working with ArcGIS. With the plugins it has A LOT of functionality (including some that ArcMap doesn't if you're willing to learn the GRASS modules), and you don't have to pay oodles of money to use it.
Just my two cents.
