Don't worry about soundness. Just remember Tartakover's dictum:"If it's dubious,it's playable!"

I just hate the idea of really getting to know an opening that then gets thrashed when you reach a certain level of chess (1.a3 is 'playable' by novices but quickly shows its shortcomings when you get a little better...)
