I would encourage going the kit route if a person has any ability at all.
Its very simple to build following instructions, and took me about 6 hours.
I was pleased with the fit of parts and panels and how fast the radio
went together.  And as many have said it makes upgrading or changing
boards a lot more friendly if you have seen the insides apart before.
For my 200 bucks I added a CW filter and transverter card.
Factory built is a real good deal for guys who dont have time or ability,
so both sides come out on top.  Performance is the same either way.
