Shade
When I host my meetup and someone is newish and doesn't like the RWS, I hand them the Shadowscapes and they always love it. Shadowscapes all the way.
Decks with non-traditional imagery that still give a sense of RWS meanings
Maan
Phantasmagoric theater tarot, clover tarot, tarot of the sidhe, tarot ilusori, tarot of the absurd and bonefire tarot.
All a bit different but brilliant

I would second Maan's suggestion of the Bonefire and Absurd, and add Tarot de St. Croix to the list:

I'm loving ALL the decks people are suggesting! My wish list just tripled in size overnight 
I think my favorites remain the Wild Unknown, the Hidden Realm, and now the Sidhe! I can't believe I missed this deck for so long! I think the Sidhe might be the winner, at least for now. The cards look so evocative and intuitive, but at the same time it looks like a deck that's got some meat to it, which I realize I'm going to need if this is going to be my only deck until the end of December.
And then when I get back to the US in December, ohhhh the shopping spree I'm going to have
Thank you all for your fantastic suggestions!

I recently bought the Sidhe .. One of my favorites too. If you go with that, you will not be regretful. Very evocative images, and the book is written in a way that will really spark your intuition.
