The best suggestions here has been to go to the local bottle shop and buy some small micro brews.
As for reason for getting into AG.......I would be very surprised if anyone does it for cost, just ask my Mrs. Your main passion would have to be the process of making beer and some of the science behind it, and this is something you would need to research yourself. If this is not the case I would highly recommend staying with kits and making as good beer as AG without all the setup expense. The big + for AG brew is the flexibility to tweak each brew to your liking, so without a good knowledge of the process and effects this would be largely a pointless exercise.
Sure, taste some AG brews, some will be good and some bad but dont get into AG just to make good beer, I am sure this can be done with kits.
