Yes, it's cheaper to start out with the upgrade parts because then you're not buying twice. Then again, starting with the least expensive kit gets your foot in the door and lets you improve as the budget allows. But I do think the models with upgraded parts are best of class loudspeakers, and I would highly encourage you to think seriously about that.
Even with all the upgrades, you're still talking about an inexpensive investment especially when you consider you'll be having the really, really good stuff. When I'm at shows with my top of the line fours, I feel like my room sounds as good as some of the other rooms with $30K speakers. There was even a room with $300K speakers at one show I was at, and I thought the fours sounded better than those too.
The entry level parts sound good, but don't rise to that level. The fully upgraded models really do, and you're still only looking at about a grand a speaker if you build your own cabinets. You can even use an exotic wood, and still not break the bank if you build your own. I've sent the plans, so let me know if you have any questions.
