Default Conversion sense ?

I don't fly with gasoline yet, but question the sense of conversions. With places like B+B with ready to go engines, with engines like Fuji out there ready to go for $300-$400, with a decent used market where Zenoas are selling for say $300 is it really sensable to convert ? By the time you buy an engine, even a cheap engine much less a new one or recon, do machine work, buy the conversion parts and wonder if a carb will work or the fit will really be right, it just makes me wonder. I'm not knocking conversions, just looking to justify why and if that may be a better way to go or not.
