I guess it will worth it once I get the hang of the steel strings.

Nylon Strings are easier on the hands but it does depend on what you're aiming to play, if you're a Metal Fan you're going to lose interest pretty quickly with a nylon strung guitar, if you want to learn classical, fingerstyle or fingerpicking they're perfect, they are also good to learn chords on when you start, I started with a nylon strung guitar but once I got some chords down I moved to steel string, now I'm into fingerpicking so I'm back on the Classical more. so it is really down to what you want to play in my opinion.
There is a bit of pain involved when starting GuitarWizard, it gets better once your fingertips harden up a bit and your hands get use to the exercise so stick at it and you'll be fine, have fun with your playing
