The beauty of the hobby is customizing and building something unique. You can build it as per plans or put some nice touches and subtle differences in to suit your style. If we were concerned about every penny we put into a plane, we wouldn't be in this hobby.

Its nice that you obviously build all of your aircraft according to the plans, but that's not enough for everyone.

Customization is rampant in everything. It doesn't make sense that someone would put $10,000 in a 1990 Honda Civic but thousands of people do. Why, you may ask? To express themselves as individuals.

I personally don't like planes that look like the picture on the box, you may and that is your perogative. But please don't disparage those who go the extra mile to make something truly special.
