One man's starter gun is another man's ultimate gun.
A guy that starts with an in-line may find his ultimate ML is a traditional hammer gun, or even a FL.
Once you're in this ML thing, you never know where it will take you. I never wanted an in-line, but bought one when Cabela's was giving away the Genesis. I may get a Savage smokeless some day, and that would be a great starter gun for a CF guy that has some reloading experience.
Have 2 inlines (including a Wolf which I started w/ and still hunt) and then went to a Flintlock. Most fun I have had in a long time of gun hunting.
