No, not exactly. Here is what I was responding to:

"I guess I'm thinking that in the time it takes to learn what someone else has done, I could write my own - and add or leave out portions to fit my own needs. And the price is right."

I don't care what value you place on your time, there is no way you are going to build your own framework for $700 worth of labor. So I don't think price is a factor.

Good luck with whatever you decide!
