Well I would say that building my own light system has saved me any where from $1000 - $4000 depending on what manufactured fixture you look at.

I wasn't going to build my own heat sinks at first, I was going to use Martins 6" x 12" heat sinks, join 2 together to make 4 - 12" x 12" heat sinks.

If I was doing a smaller tank I might have just bought something but I do like to build stuff. I would say the average guy or gal could easily build there own LED's with Modular LED & Martins help.
