Or is it better to build something that is robust and reliable, and spend that time on your subsystems and practicing to improve performance?

How about 45lbs, with a functioning control system, working pneumatic system, a compressor too big for its own good, a metal tank, and a huge excess of wires and pneumatic tubing? Just because one 8 motor octocanum weighs 90 lbs doesn't mean all of them do.
