It is good to see such an open mind set on training with other styles/affiliations. There are some who never venture beyond their own master instructor. IMHO it narrows one's perspective on the art when all you have is what your instructor has presented to you. You may decide you don't like a particular point of view or approach but at least you have experienced it. Unfortunately, this is not encouraged by all instructors.
I do agree with Peter though that you need some rudimentary skills to experience other techniques. If you are unfamiliar with the basics of your own style how can you possibly make a fair comparison or enjoy the experience of another style.
