I think this is more of a convenience factor than anything else now that I've done some research and reading. . .it's more for those who don't want to build their own ride. . .there are some nice creature comforts (cruise control being the only one that I think may give me a little bit of difficulty. . .other than the fact that I won't have an onboard diagnostic either) that these 1st/4th-gen hybrids offer, but nothing that I couldn't do myself given a little bit time to think and a probably a lot more time to cleanly execute. . .I know I'm in no rush though. . .the money is the hold-up factor for me more than anything else. . .I think I'm gonna stick with the traditional 1st-gen set-up. . .the only other options that I'm currently investigating/ruling out are the Schwartz Precision Chassis and/or the Art Morrison G-Machine frame. . .the downfall to both of those being that they are 4-bar set-ups and I've decided that I want to go with a 3-link and Watt's linkage rear suspension set-up.
