That is an accurate assesment and I tend to agree with your points with the added line: Only you can decide what you believe is an unacceptable risk for you.

My feeling is that there is a chance of a faulty part no matter what AEG you buy. Someone who plays it safe and buys a TM from a retailer only to have it "stop working" isn't in much better shape (I guess I am assuming no warranty) than the person who has the same problem with their challenge kit. Plenty of people buy used AEG's for a cost savings far lower than $500 so it's a matter of opinion whether or not the savings is worth the risk.

If I believed that there would be a problem out of the box there is no way I would have gone forward. Obviously I think the risk is minimal. In t his case I was right which reinforces my opinion. YMMV.

If you're the kind of person who, for example, always buys the extended warranty "just in case" then the SCK probably isn't for you. Not because you couldn't assemble it but because you have decided that the risk associated with it isn't tolerable.

Nothing wrong with that either.
