Need some advice

[Midnitemo]

Well I can put it off no longer....I need to get some better com's , been kidding myself that a pair of 20+ year old Motorola walkie talkies will get me by for long enough...I realise I need to go down the baofeng route but am put off by the supposed complexity of the uv5r+ so what I want to know is would I be better off with the latest uv3r+ for simplicity or is it just as flummoxing as its bigger brother....what do you guy's think?....I can get a pair of 3's for £40 or a pair of 5's for £49.....I'm thinking maybe start with 3's then buy a pair of 5's later......what are the positives and negatives with these transceivers.
