That depends if you are interested in taking the "Scenic Route", or Getting right to the destination. For many, especially newcomers, they can save themselves countless hours of fiddling around
making the "mix and match" concept work. Indeed "Mix and Match Does work, but we would all admit, when we started, it was both a bit intimidating and sometimes stressful when we spent money on
stuff that did not deliver.

It is true, that many new options have appeared in this past year to control a machine. Still, with all these new control options, I still don't think anyone's package is any better than FlashCut
for a newbie. When you go for a full package for a Sherline from them, Bet your bottom dollar you will be making parts quickly and not breathing in Solder Fumes. :-) Once assembled, Plug it in,
turn it on, and make stuff ! Especially in regards a Sherline, as they already have Setup files ready to go for those machines.

For me, the effortless "Windows Compatability" aspect (networking etc.) is worth EVERY Dime. And the new upcoming Version will just make it worth all that much more.
