Mike, I have gone through the same process as you a couple months ago. I found TFP during our build and then, once startup happened, there was the uncertainty of which to follow, pool company or TFP. They were close, but there was some inconsistencies. Mostly, the FC from the pool company was much too low.
I found once the startup occurred, the pool company moved on. TFP will still be here from now on. You got this, and in no time you might even consider yourself an expert. Just keep reading this site and don't rely on the pool store advice.
By the way, is this an A&S pool? Looks like almost the same equipment as mine.
