I re-read your post and I took it wrong sorry.
You're right about "...it might as well be cobras"
It's what my wife says to her friends (and her "mother- in- law").
I'm real close to spending $500 on a custom saw blade to cut picture molding that matches the original molding in our apt. And I don't even get to keep the damn thing, the lumber yard does.
Of course my wife wants to just buy some that looks close. She says when you get your Cobra you can obsess over getting it perfect.
