This thread is a good illustration of the concept of relativity. You can get a
$250 paint job and you can get a $5000 paint job. Some folks will be perfectly
happy with the $250 job, and some will find fault with the $5000 job and wish
they had spent more. I guess it comes down to what kind of job you want and how
demanding you are.
One would hope-- and I only say "hope"-- that if you spend more you get a better
job. Unfortunately, that ain't always so . . .
