Not certain I agree here, in certain conditions.

1- Is the beginner tab basically a piece of leather?
2- Do you want to shoot target recurve with sights and stabilisers?
3- Are you using a sight atm?

If the answers to all these are yes, get a relatively cheap tap with finger separator and chin shelf such as the A&F. It's not as nice as a good tab like the Cavalier (my personal favourite) but it will serve for about a year. Furthermore it is cheap, and when you decide to try out others take a look at the Archers Mart, you might find some tabs there.

Basically it is MUCH easier to learn proper recurve shooting if you have a consistent anchor (which the shelf provides) and better stuff will always help. I would also not recommend that you take stuff said on here very seriously, there are more opinions here than archers, and what works for someone else PROBABLY WON'T work for you.

Rule #3 of archery is that you will buy lots of things to find out what you like best. This is good. You can sell them on eBAy or the ARchers Mart section afterwards.
