The fun of making it yourself is one easy
to comprehend justification.

Having to get a board with several hundred
vias finished in a shorter period of time than
you could get a professional house to start
it.

Having a general interest in CNC anyways (from
doing your Seig X3 mill all the way down to
making CNC music box roll cutters and CNC
balsa wood planners)

I've got one of the Sakai drill presses which
I think is pretty nice.  But I still don't
like drilling hundreds of holes.

And as they always say.  Why buy something 
for $10 when you can make it yourself for
only $100

:D
