Building a coil that looks neat and professional requires buying all the
right materials, having a fairly extensive set of power tools, and putting
many hours into quality craftsmanship.  Beginner's may not have all the
right resources.

A neat coil will perform better than one thrown together from the same power
components, and reliability will be much better, but cost will be at least 5
times as high ;-)  I've got $2500+ invested in my 2kVA coil ($1000 in caps
alone), and the costs go up dramatically as the power level increases.
