Chef, I disagree.
We all do start at a similar place, but his trees can teach him a lot. No use buying expensive stock unless he knows how to care for it.
When we start, we are charmed by the little trees and we enjoy them greatly. As we learn, and train our eye, we advance in our tastes but sometimes our younger stock can grow with us. Now, it's good advice not to buy a whole bunch of trees until you know a little more, but everyone needs to learn a certain amount of horticultural stuff to be able to keep them healthy. Give him time to grow, just as you have.
And ficus can be used in more advanced work too, consider the grafting techniques that fuse multiple trunks.
