We highly recommend the father / son approch! Much more gratifying and cost effective. The time you'll spend together and education gained on a project of this size is inmeasureable. Spending $80k for instant gratification is easy for some folks. But Teaching your child (and yourself) respect, paitence, mechanics, electronics, physics, etc. About how things work is priceless. the bond formed between father and son on a once in a lifetime project such as this will last a lifetime. best wishes to you and your decision to move forward.
