I might try out Kanji in Context. I avoided RTK because when I began studying Japanese I knew I was moving to Japan and I thought it would be more beneficial to learn vocabulary as well, and I'd heard from a few sources that you won't learn that from the first volume at least. I actually picked up the first volume of GENKI, and although a little outdated (words like video tapes for example), I've found it a pretty good tool for self learning, albeit being an upper high school/college text.
