John,
Recognition is the first step towards curing your disease
. It is hard trying to fight an urge that you have. I find myself sometimes having to fight a desire to do something that really is not required.
I can't offer any opinions on what you should do. Just take your time, think ten steps ahead and consider possible problems that may arise half-way or towards the end of the build. It's tough, especially when we do not have unlimited resources. Good luck.
Jim
