Thats exactly right, Danny.

The savings I would say more like 40-50%. But again this as I said earlier, I can see, would differ, depending on your country (i.e. availability of parts and building materials)

I also disagree with statements like 'build for the experience, not the end result' I can't for the life of me figure the thought behind saying something the like that.

I built for the experience and the end result, and as far as I'm concerned, job done.
