Yah, that's true. In many ways a kit is more attractive to me personally
than a pre-built. Why? Because I _love_ making things. It's why I'm on
this group (among others). If I _had_ to make parts, or if I had to make
parts _right_now_, or if I didn't want to invest any emotional energy,
then I'd buy a pre-built machine. But none of those are true! I want to
bring my grandparents down into my basement and say 'see, I built that .
. .' (they'll never know I cheated and used a kit, right?)
I'm after the visceral pleasure of making a machine come alive with my
own hands. I don't have the time to design this machine myself, so I'd
love to have a kit. I don't want to skip the pleasure and just go right
to a finished product either. So the kit is the way to go for me.
Anyway, if I build a kit and can't get it to work and get totally
frustrated, but have a huge pent up desire to make parts, I'd probably
break down and buy a pre-built. So it's good to know one's options.
