REPLY:
As someone who has done both homebrew and owning a 9500, I can assure
you that in terms of time and money spent, the 9500 is a far better
investment.
You can buy a good, used late production 9500 for about $5k, use it
for years and sell it for what you paid if not more.
Net cost of ownership = zero.
Compare that to homebrew. Even if you value your time spent as
nothing, you lose.
I grant you, homebrewing is a great experience but the discussion here
is about money.
