Nah, just gotta choose your battles, based mostly on available time.
I'm going to build me a CNC router if it kills me (and my marriage),
to work on somewhat beefy parts for a large scale Abrams tank.
But for my 1/20 Elco 77 PT boat, I had all the cabin formers laser'd
for less than the cost of a single slide for the router, and in just
a couple days. But too many projects! The boat still isn't finished,
which the better half reminds me about as I charge ahead with the
router...
