I would give the same advice. My reasons would be
1. People here have more experience of a netinst image (say), so help
is more readily available.
2. The netinst and DVD images have probably undergone more testing.
3. Why play? Just get on with it and install Debian. You know it makes
sense.
4. Enjoy the freedom given by the mini ISO. A few MB compared with a GB
download; no contest. Everything spot-on and up-to-date.
5. I have never used a live image to install; I do not see the point.
(That doesn't mean I am saying it should not be done).
6. Live images support only two architectures.
7. Play and test. Disk space is cheap and USB sticks are two-a-penny.
Install with a netinst and be done with it.

That is a damning indictment of a live image. What is unsafe about
installing from it? Is d-i unable to operate reliably within a live
environment? The analysis could form the basis of Reason 8.
