You have it slightly wrong here. The toolkit is not, in the true sense, a
product. To compare the two, it's like buying a house:

	With the toolkit you get a pile of prefabricated wall frames
	and roof trusses and are expected to assemble it yourself. The
	instructions are very basic but there are lots of neighbours
	who can help you if you get stuck. If the roof leaks you can
	try and fix it yourself. Maybe your neighbours can help, too.
	Depends if their roof is leaking too.

	Otherwise you can move straight into the pre-built, customised
	to your requirements Gauntlet model. Every now and then the
	people from TIS will come over and give your house a makeover.
	Maybe they'll just paint it, maybe they'll make the walls
	thicker (particularly the firewalls :-). Sometimes they'll even
	add a room or two.

Take your pick.

Colin
