Default build it yourself?

I was wondering how many of you have built your engine yourselves? It seems like there is a lot of discussion and responses dealing with engine builders. I have absolutely nothing against that, but was wondering on the reasoning. Personally, I like having touched every part - even at the risk of the novice effect. Was it perhaps a time issue? Couldn't wait to get on to the rest of the car? Certainly can't be a cost savings over a short block assy from one of the manufacturer's if you have any confidence in your ability.

Let me know.
