Plus, over 28K at one time is a chunk of money, doing it yourself is more likely to be 28k+ over a period of years.

Amen to that! The days you're out there figuring things out, sweating, mashing fingers, and drinking cold cokes with the wee bebes are memories you'll have for the rest of your life. You wouldn't believe the random stuff you get to talk about when you spend time together doing stuff.
I'll never spend that much on Cecilia though. My budget is set at $4800. Why that? It's 10% of the national average income plus shipping to get her to me. If things ever get really, horribly bad I can probably sell her for that easily. It'll kill me, but I can do it if I have to.
