Compare Two Leisure Activities to Choose One to Commit To

You are interested in two things but you only have time for one, and you know if you try both you will commit to neither. This compares the two on realistic time cost, financial cost, social setup, and how quickly you would progress. Two questions at the end help you decide based on your actual life.
