I don't want to be cranking the volume the whole time to get the 80's working properly. I have decided not to get a sub initially as I'd like to 'learn' the nearfields first. Opinions? Thanks

You don't have to crank anything. In fact you shouldn't crank your monitors while mixing. You should be around 90dB maybe 95dB maximum while mixing. This is pretty quiet. Any louder and you risk hearing damage and your ears have a skewed frequency response at loud volumes.
