Greasemonkey,
Don't forget to factor in the labor already in the SPF cars in getting them to turnkey minus status. The way I see things, for what it's worth, is that it really all boils down to personal preferences--value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. There are guys with SPFs and FFRs in the Bay Area Cobra Club...they're all very well done, but of course the guys with the FFRs put a lot of time into building or paid for someone else to do it. And this isn't always the result of a lower initial cost--a fair number of folks really enjoy building a car. As to SPF v. CSX 4000 cars, I'm not sure how the CSX roller compares with the SPF turnkey minus car as to completeness, and therefore can't know for sure if you're comparing apples to apples on cost--but certainly the CSX car is very good as well. Dan Semko has suggested one approach that might help potential customers get a better sense of how the various makes, similarly outfitted as rollers (I think), would stack up against one another--seems like a pretty good idea.
