I learned not to "cheap out" when it comes to certain passions and/or hobbies. Get what you want and be done with it. In a week or two, you won't notice the monetary difference. What usually happens when you try to take the least expensive approach is, you blow your money on something you really don't want, then turn right around and buy what you did want in the first place, ultimately wasting money on the first purchase.
It's okay to be frugal ...to a certain point. But get what you really want, even if it means a bit more $$$.
