I would look at the Launch pad kits as a transition more towards mid power rocketry. They will take some creative effort on your part to make them perform as you expect. I personally like the kits as for the fins comming apart it is as several have stated, cutting your fins out wrong.
I have an alarm that I built and only modified slightly and has made some awsome flights, only failure in eight flights was the shock cord mount came loose so I replaced it with kevlar and a screw eye epoxyed in and still works great.
As for being a mid power rocket it is all to the skill you teach yourself and learn and that will make your rocketeering a great adventure.
This is my TLP Alarm nine flights and still kicking. I didn't CA the fins but it would be a wise choice too. I have never broken a fin, it has almost suffered a zipper from an old D12-3. I like to fliy it on F21-4s but it has a few mods to fly with that motor and its a long walk to recover it too LOL!
