David,

For what it's worth, the learning curve to get to where you currently
are in CSS is tiny - it comes down to syntax differences. The more
powerful features require learning new stuff, but it's all pretty
straightforward. I can understand wanting to get the basics of the
design down first before converting to Compass, but you may find it'll
save you a lot of time if you use it as you go.
