I would go for what you want.
If you feel a Jardine would fit in well with your life, then get one.
Some things you can do before buying the bird is visit stores or people with those birds and play with them. This way you can see their personality.

Oh... and don't think a parrotlet is going to keep your fingers unscathed.
I have take hard bites from my parrotlets... I would take a bite from a jardine any day!!!!
Parrotlet bites hurt! If you don't mind maybe (depending on the individual bird) getting but SUPER HARD from time to time, then a parrotlet may be your bird. But if pain is an issue I would go with a small conure or a Jardine... They may be bigger, but their bites ain't got nothing on a parrotlet!
