35 documents of 1000 pages each one
(I mean 35000 pages)
is not a impressive volume.
The problems is converting from what-to-what, why, and how
For serious work you  should have  a full Adobe suite,
at least to minimize "political" problems  with your boss and customers.
And I raccomand mkii because it's stable -- but keep an eye on mkiv
because is the "future today". So can also happen that mkiv is waht
you need *now* .

TeX is a programming language, and ConTeXt too.
Programming is a difficult task, and typographic programming is a
difficult task
of programming.
If you are fine with reading the source, it's really ok that you start
to read the source now
because there are many and many examples.
(if so, of course you should be able to make a short and working
example by yourself too,
because wiki is full of smal working examples).
