anvils

i have been traveling 1 hour each way learning how to forge and i am ready to start tinkering some at the house with less direction to make sure i am getting the concept so i can start on my own.

With that said, i am looking for a cheap anvil to tinker with at home. Are the 55 lb harbor freight anvisl any good? i notice they are cast iron vs steel...whats the difference when pounding on metal on these 2 different type anvils? The guy that has been helping teach me has a 500 lb steel anvil, but i am not ready to sink hundreds of dollars into an anvil at this time.
