Anyway, my total cost came to about $4500. I probably cannot build
cabs as good as the custom guy would have (I've seen his work at a
friends house). But I know that my cabs will be better than anything I
can get at the borg and anything that I saw from Dynasty or Omega. I
figure that I will be saving about $8K - $10K which will go right to a
nice new Wolf range (to replace the Magic Chef that has been destroying
my food for the last 10 years) and granite countertops.

Doesn't it come down the biggest benefit of all ~ the bragging rights
factor? If that's not worth something, then one might as well farm out as
much work possible and go do something else more enjoyable. Saving money is
nice, but if it's at the expense of not liking what you're doing, then it
only goes so far.
