Yup, I'm with you-- and you especially don't want to offer too much of a 
heavy, dense food in the first course where it will fill people up to 
quickly and dull their appetite for the rest of the meal. 

I also think that you're far better off buying a smaller amount of nice, 
interesting cheese than a larger amount of something ordinary.
