I agree completely about the stationy tendencies. I had about 500 hours at limit (1-2bb/hr) and this has been the most difficult part of my transition as well as the fact that in limit it doesn't hurt you to overvalue pocket pairs.
For me limit was all about being a bull in a China shop b/c you could almost always value bet. In NL I've actually been forced to analyze what someone may be holding and putting them on ranges. In short I think limit is more enjoyable because you get to play more and chase but these skills aren't going to help you at no limit. Better to just get right on that learning curve and figure it out. (Perhaps this doesn't apply to higher levels-my peak was 6/12- but if you are looking at higher levels then you're going to be better off there than in low limit NLHE.
