Remember that the underlying API's are the same. So MT is CocoaTouch + .NET framework + C# (in descending order of size). XCODE etc is CocoaTouch + Cocoa + Obj-C, so if you learn CocoaTouch, with either tool, it's the same in either case.And it's a huge API.
So going with MT for the moment, and switching later if you have to, is a valid option. So is going the other way. You could use the simulator etc (which is free) until you work it out a bit more....
