To OP: I have learned through years of experience that the cost of quality is worth the cost. I have yeilded to the temptation of fast-and-cheap over the years, but I always ended up paying for the quality anyway.

Having said that, I admit that I have purchased cheap in the past in order to hurry things along, but I ALWAYS ended up paying more later when I found myself dissatisfied with the poor quality of the cheaper purchase.

My advise: buy quality up front.
