What I've noticed about the DTX532 is that the hat needs to be unconditionally and deliberately open 'before' the strike. You can't cheat it like you can a real high-hat. I've gotten used to it over the past week, and it may have even made my acoustic playing a bit cleaner.
Someone pointed out that my exercise-bike analogy was a bit over the top. After spending some time with the kit I agree with them. It's more like the difference between ice-skates and roller blades.
For the OP.
You have a lot of choices. If you get overwhelmed with information, there's nothing wrong with simply ordering a Roland student kit and getting started. The to pieces of advice I can give for any eKit are:
1: Save the packaging materials in case you need warranty service or wish to resell.
2: Buy extra velcro cable ties.
3: Get a comfortable throne.
4: Buy a decent pedal because you will keep it for any next kits
