and I had so much fun!

Exactly.
I switched to penhold for a similar reason eight years ago and managed to attain (and exceed later) my former playing ability rather quickly in less than half a year, albeit it's only Kreisklasse.
It's still fun, no regrets.
People believe that the backhand is hard to learn, but I think this is not true, it feels basically the same once you get accustomed to the grip. If I switched back to shakehand these days, I'd have little problems with the backhand but wouldn't be able to hit a forehand instead.
Since you live in Berlin, do you know Diego Hinz from Füchse Berlin? He also plays penhold, with short pimples on one side. Quite an exceptional and attractive style. You'll find videos on Youtube.
