just because you pay $100 for some thing doesn't mean it does the job any better or produces better results.
By "just as well" I would expect:

Same accuracy.

Same precision.

Same ease of use.

Same durability.

If you can really build one for $15 that has all of these same traits, that is great. Personally, I have looked at a lot of the home made designs and the ones I have seen appear to have some disadvantages compared to the store bought model.

However, the question is whether or not those differences are worth the $85 difference in price.
