I've pretty much decided I'm going to do my AFF jump 1 to see the difference and then figure out if I want to do any more

Well, there you go, good choice!
If I may add, my first AFF jump was a completely different experience from my Tandem jump. I think a fair comparison would be how I felt the first time I drove a car VS any time my dad would drive me around as a kid. There is simply no match!

Let us know what you think of it.
And as they say around here, Blue Skies and Big Smiles!

My 2c as an AFF student about halfway done with AFF, so with very very very little if no experience at all.

Try another Tandem jump, tell the instructor you're thinking about taking AFF so he'll give you a better briefing, he'll explain you in more detail what's going on, they usually let you do stuff like pulling the chord to open the main chute yourself, they let you do some canopy control maneuvers, they give a much better idea of the whole experience. At least, that's what happened to me when I said I was thinking about AFF.

Then decide without pressure. :)

Most people do a couple of tandems before getting into AFF and they describe their second jump as much much different from the first because they know what to expect.

Skydiving is quite a commitment, and I would never take it if I'm 50-50. At the same time, it is the best thing I've ever done so I would also never let go if I were 50-50. :)
