A good MIDI arrangement is still a good MIDI arrangement, even with crappy onboard sounds. If you can make good MIDI arrangements and you have good musical skill rest assured you can invest further in this field such that it won't be misspent.
See you around, good luck!

If you have little to nothing to spare then I agree, otherwise you go with what your comfortable with. You aren't going to catch a lot of people using paintbrush (or even GIMP) to design art just because it's free.
I started out that way and learned very little about software and improved very slowly. I say Try it, then Buy it (if it's good).
