The mandocellos I played just seemed too long a scale length for me. Octaves are the biggest I'd want, but I have small hands. I'd forget relating any fretting hand work to guitar and tackle it as a unique new instrument. If you flatpick already, you'll be worlds ahead.
If you take up mandolin, your avenues for playing with others will be greater IMHO.
