I wonder if we should distinguish between the DIYer who would be quite

They understand and want pro equipment. Included in this group are hobby
diyers, who do diy for the satisfaction of knowing they can, and don't
want the risk of a getting in a contractor who may cut corners and not
do it quite as he would.

find hardest to "get".

A discerning lot.
