I already have to continue my leveling on Bard to acquire Quelling Strikes (i forgot to get Quelling before leveling BLM and qent only with Raging Strikes, poor tanks) so I'll try it out until 60 and see if I like it better!
If you didn't like SMN, you might have issues with MCH. It has a lot of cooldowns for buffs and off-gcd attacks, and the timing for the accepted openers at 60 is pretty tight due to the nature of wildfire. I'm not saying you shouldn't try it, but it plays fairly similar to summoner except the cooldowns don't line up quite as well (though they're not terrible), and you don't have to worry as much about the turret (which is good and bad - it's easier to not notice it died or needs to be moved since you often just forget it's even there).
