Default Recommend an electronic kit

I'm considering getting an electric kit, due to passing some recent exams and it being my birthday next month, and would like some recommendations of a possible kit to get.

I had drum lessons when i was in primary school (i'm 21 now), so can bash out a basic rhythm, but i've never had a drum kit at home. So now i want one to be able to teach myself and basically have some fun with it. It would potentially be used for recording purposes maybe, but probably wouldn't get gigged. If i ever happened to be asked to play anywhere i would probably just borrow a friends acoustic kit.
Acoustic not an option as not enough space, and it can be quite annoying for any neighbours (we have neighbours who have drums).

I've been looking at the alesis dm5 pro kit, has anyone got one of these? are they any good? How much floor space do they take up? I could potentially stretch to a roland td 3 or yamaha kit, but that is nearly double the money and i'm not sure if i could justify it.

Unfortunately there isn't anywhere where i live, that i know of that have electronic kits to test (i live in devon), so i probably will have to go on other people's recommendations.

Thanks in advance.
