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.
