I'm on my third MW Extra 300 right now, it's almost ready to cover,
Yes an arf would be only $100 or so more by the time you buy everything for the kit, but some guys, like me, like to have a one of a kind airplane.
I intend to cover it in the same color scheme my Ohio RC Ultimate had (check gallery if you're interested)

Build on boys and girls (are there any girl builders?)
