Thanks for the support everyone!
The thing is, I started this (and I really had more a One Deck Wonder period in mind, I guess) to try and free myself from the 'Tigger-tarot', which I tend to practice a lot; a frantic hopping from deck to deck, looking for the 'perfect' one (at least for that moment, that mood), which of course doesn't exist.
It's something that I do in other areas of my life as well - and it doesn't really have anything to do with the decks (or other objects) themselves, more with a certain restlessness.
I was hoping that by sticking to one deck for a long period of time, there would be no question in my mind about changing over; this was just My Deck, period. At least for the time being.
I think it might also have something to do with getting slightly bored with my card-of-the-day routine, which also happens; for a while, I tend to get a lot out of them, and then all of a sudden they stop meaning anything to me.
So, rather than switching to another deck (I wouldn't stop at 'looking at' one, or two, or half a dozen...), I'm going to take a break for a few days, have a bit of a breather, wait until I'm a little more balanced.
After that, I think I'll try and come up with a new (study-) routine, either for the Fantastic Menagerie or another deck. Something that will probably not involve daily cards, but perhaps more spreads, or other ways of working with the cards (I have several books that I'd like to work with, like the one by Mark McElroy, or the 21 Ways one).
For now, I think, I would consider myself on hiatus.
