Least expensive usually means, least complete. You invariably get what you pay for.

I don't know about Shell Valley, but FFR is the leader in sales because the price is affordable to more people. But if you look at FFRs you'll see a wide variation in quality of the build, body & paint, and components, etc. Some manage to build one for $20-something-K, while a few have $50K or more in them. It's purely a function of time, materials, skill, and/or how much is in your checkbook.

There's no comparison between the $20K FFRs and the $50K ones. However, in the end, it doesn't matter because it's all about what you want and how much enjoyment you get out of it.
