It’s definitely more fun. You could use the bigger pulley first, get tuned for it and see how it feels, then get the smaller pulley get another retune for that pulley (subsequent tunes from a tuner once you have one are pretty cheap) and then use the smaller pulley for DD and larger pulley for track. Just flash back and forth per each pulley, or you can probably have the tuner have it so you can switch tunes on the fly with the cruise control toggle. Or some people will even use the smaller pulley tune with the bigger pulley on the track (just don’t do vice versa) since the main difference the smaller pulley tune will most likely have less timing and more fuel compared to larger pulley so on the track it’ll actually be safer, just down on power.

Another option to consider is get what you can now for a good DD setup but with the realization that it probably won’t be enough for reliably doing even occasional 3-4x year tracking, but in the future you can save up for the supporting mods and add them on later to be able to track it without too much concern. But your all in cost will really be closer to 15k when said and done.
