I'm playing with the idea of buying a dog and I have decided between one of two breeds; doberman pinscher or german shepherd. I'm leaning more towards the doberman due to it's lighter coat (I live in a tropical region) and that it is a more agile/lighter breed which I would assume is cheaper to feed and care for. What is totse's thoughts?

I will remove the '?' from the title to make it more alluding
I've read that the doberman is more of a conceptual thinker and will often challenge the logic of your commands whereas the shepherds obedience to direction makes them simpler to train. Both are undoubtedly high-intelligence breads however in the aspect of obedience training ~ the GSD will usually respond to simple techniques more so then the doberman, is this true?
If a good GSD comes up for re-homing at my local shelter, I wouldn't decline but so far if I need to source from a breeder and pay good $$ ~ I will be choosing the doberman.
