When you are dealing with issues that require a significant an investment I would defer to the owner of the sets judgement. Many collectors strive for authenticity but unless you have won the LOTTO there are always limits. A humble collector who would like to listen to his/her set cannot be faulted because he/she has to eat and pay rent.

So as long as one is being true to his/her philosophy their work should be respected. In my humble opinion there are a lot of bad feelings created sometimes because a collectors' wish to judge others too harshly, the hobby should be enjoyable, a guy/gal should not be made to feel inadequate because someone else chooses to tell them they did not do it "right".

Now I have to go paint a model 90 florescent pink.
