Thus, LL with AEC is right in line for how I enjoy my games.

We have been playing OSRIC, but there is some stuff in it I don't like including the lack of a monk class. I have been looking over LL for a couple days now and am seriously thinking about ordering hard copies of the books. The problem is we already have multiple hard copies of OSRIC and if we switch over to LL, it will be because I pushed it. I guess switch may be a bad word. OSRIC and LL look enuff alike that I could use material from both without too may issues (I think.)

The AEC basically says, ok, what if 1e evolved straight out of B/X and maintained compatibility? The result is you get something pretty close to 1e, but without some of the IMHO clutter from 1e. You will find some differences. LL + AEC is quite a lot like 0e + supplements, but with options to make it even more like 1e if you want.
So it really depends on your tastes ans what you are aiming for.
