Looks good...
If the Cecilio is anything close to Yamaha in quality, you'll be good to go.
I have an older Yamaha ev100, and it is super for quiet practice. Without the headphones, it's just loud enough to hear what you need to hear. With the headphones, its like you're in a concert hall!
Real violins are atrocious to learn on (pitch, bowing noise, learning fifths tuning, etc, etc...) in your household, and neighborhood. The silent (electric) violins are TOTALLY the answer.
I started about a year ago, and I've been able to get to do several intermediate skill level tunes learning on the silent violin. I'd say every other day or so, play your real violin for a while, just to keep up with the differences.
Good luck, and stick with it! There are lots of good (free) lesson sites on youtube...Allison Sparrow, fiddlehed, are just a couple of many. Private lessons with a teacher...a big yes to that as well.
