Best of luck!

Do you know which retailers in the GTA allow trying out different guns or which fields offer a variety of tryout options?

A battle belt comes empty, so you need to buy many pouches, maybe a harness if its your style, most of the time it also requires an inner belt that is a few points bigger than your size, etc. The total price can go up real quick.

With that said, battle belts are great, just not that cheap to start with unless you get a great deal used.

I will look into which is cheaper, I like the modability. For perspective, I'm a PC/IT enthusiast. I'm used to spending multiple hundreds of dollars on stuff XD and I've been trying to translate my 'learning curve' experience over to airsoft buying.
