I love that slapping smiley...HAHA
I went through the same agonizing decision between Kinders and Nigerians. Kinders seemed like a better fit for getting a combo of milk/meat/pets but I don't want to keep a buck where we are right now. We have a little over 3 acres and the neighbors don't care what we do as long as it's not too loud or smelly, hence no buck. And I couldn't find a single person in MN that breeds Kinders, but several Nigi breeders close by. So Nigis it is and I love my 2 girls to bits. We're going to stagger the breeding and hopefully have milk for much of the year. (Any that we don't sell will be butchered but DH will have to drive them to the butcher. I won't have the heart.) They're super friendly even with my rowdy 3 yr old son and follow us around the yard better than the dog. 
The only down side that I see to the smaller goats and less milk is that if you get into cheesemaking you'll need a lot more milk but I have too many irons in the fire as it is to add cheesemaking to my list of neglected hobbies.
