Hi Michael, the return question is, "do you have more time than money or the other way around". If you have a time line to get into the air and disposable money then quick build what's available. I spent 2-3 month's part time prepping the spars. I polished the webs and doublers really well. Riveting is easy with the SPA Rivet Squeezer. Really cool tool. Got a lot of satisfaction out of the spar build. Tanks are easy, just have to mess with the fuel sealant goop. I did both of mine and an RV7 cell in a couple weeks and sessions. I've built 3 sets of tanks and don't mind them, just have a good set up and all your tools and items prepared.
