I think the mini-tub is a great step as long as you aren't cutting up a pristine car. The 4-link is pretty expensive around 2K which is a lot of money for most of us. I found narrowing the rearend to be pretty reasonable.
The hardest pill to swallow is 12 inch wheels and big brakes. You can shop around and find good deals, but new those are very expensive and the wide tires are really a big hit as well. If you plan to get those down the road, the mini-tub really opens up lots of possibilities. The tubs can always go into a painted car later, but you have to be more careful. Most people can do tubs themselves with patience and a pretty simple welder.
