Doing some heavy research into opinions on the Welborne DRD300, AudioNote Kit 1 and Bottleneck Paraglow. Narrowed down to those 3 based mainly on resale value. I really want to build from scratch but I'm too fickle to hang on and too poor to take another beating.
Zillions of posts. At least 1/3 and may be more replies to "which sounds better" or "have you heard the 2",etc are "I haven;t heard either, but....." Every thread there's one or two or more people compelled to post even w/o any opinion of their own! "I've never heard the Pimpernel X-1000 so I'm qualified to say...."

About your comment that kits are "expensive for what you get", I would say yes and no. For every kit in the market, you can certainly put together the same bill of material using decent bargin parts for less cost. But as much as I push myself to go in that direction, I always end up using upgraded parts and end up spending more than the cost of the kit. Kits, scatch, used? Really depends on priority. No wrong answer as long as you understand why you're doing it.
