As i´ve said, you can perform well as SAM with 14 buttons. Even less if you don´t use stuff like Meikyo anyway. Feint, True North, Third Eye, etc... it´s all not needed if you don´t want to be a pro. But that you actually use such stuff says that you seem to care about your performance (DPS) in some way. Macros will cause a huge loss in DPS and the overall gameplay-experience.
It´s up to you, but i would still recommend to practice at a dummy. Take care about the "not needed" stuff after you´re fine with the 14 core-keys.
