I am about a 1500 and am wondering what opening system i should play. If it helps I will list the openings I currently play. I play Queens gambit, pirc, and KID. I am considering switching from the queens gambit as there is lots of theory involved and I am not able to get the type of position i like all the time (depending on which defense black chooses). Any suggestions on which of these three systems i should play? Thanks for the help!!!

Entirely a matter of taste. Personally I have always found the idea of a one size fits all opening a bit distressing, but they limit the amount of study for sure.
