But loving both of them isn't breaking all the rules!! (Wow, is that showing my age!)

I started as a mountain biker and got a road bike after a few years. I like road riding, but I LOVE mountain biking. I am still much more comfortable off-road. I think I always will be.

I agree with what others have posted here about the learning curve. It is definitely an individual thing. Some are faster "learners" than others. Your road bike experience will definitely give you a fitness head start.
