Yeah I recommend doing one or the other sooner rather then later, because the prices seem to be going up. I did 23andme when it was $100 like 5 months ago. Now it's $200. The cool thing is (I think) that both of them will let you download your raw data as a .txt file, which could potentially be uploaded to other interpreters for analysis in the future, when existing data is more complete. I know 23andme lets you do this and I think AncestryDNA also does. I recommend giving them a fake name and using a prepaid card to pay.
