    I think the answer to whether to buy or rig depends upon where one
    falls on the time vs. money continuum. 

    There was a time when I had lots of time and very little money, so I
    was willing to build my own photography set up. Now I am thrilled to
    pay a mere $47.00 for a store built one. I value my time more. 

    There is no right answer, I think. For those who particularly enjoy
    the thrill of the build, they will always want to build their own.
    Part of the fun is to be able to say, "I built it." 

    For those with a limited tool budget, they will scrounge and
    assemble. 

    For those who want to make money, without wasting time, with quality
    tools that work efficiently, they will buy the Boony Doon.
