Re: Tips on buying *stuff* in FIRST
Also look into shipping costs of both approaches...often the bulk piece will be oversize (or freight) shipping, while a small piece can be shipped UPS for under $10.

If you are fortunate enough to have a well stocked metal supplier in town, this isn't so much of an issue.
