It may cost more money for a mesh head kit but playing a rubberised head kit will either stop you wanting to play and mean you'll have wasted the money or it'll make you want a mesh head kit and you'll have bought two kits . Hope that helps.
(I've been drumming for 25 years just in case you thought I was being a know it all)
I got a td9k last month with all mesh heads and I'm absolutely loving it. Over the course of the month though I've moved things around and I've found that because you're not tied to having the small and medium toms sat atop the bass drum, I've gradually moved the kick pedal further and further right, and rotated my body position round to the right and laid out all the toms a tad more in a line. This means I don't have to twist my body much, or at all actually. I find the position much more efficient, especially for tom patterns.
Question is, should I restrict myself to a realistic acoustic layout so that I don't have to adjust my playing much when using an acoustic kit? ...The way I have it set up at the moment just feels great!
If you are never going to play an acoustic kit then do what you want, but you will get good at whatever setup you have.
If you plan on moving between acoustic and electric kits then try to have them vaguely similar.

How is the TD1kv a year on?
They seem well priced at the moment at just over £400. I could probably sell my Gretsch Electromatic and buy one.

It’s not fold up but the small footprint and presumably less noisy no pad kick drum would be a winner. Does it feel strange to kick into fresh air?!
He picked it up by himself after hearing it a couple of times in the car stereo. Bloody show-off. Mind you, he's a seasoned veteran of 7 1/2 now, so it's only to be expected!
Trading feedback here
My 2018 drum room.
I separated out the control room and the drum tracking room.
The acoustic kit has mesh pads on it (for practice) that I swap out for proper heads when tracking.
The TD50K V Drums gets used quite a bit.
The two rooms are connected via a single ethernet cable which can carry 128 channels of audio and only use 10% of the available bandwidth, so works fine on a converged network.
