Thanks Sandeep. Was going to PM you. This, I think, is the perfect analogy.
You need a boiler for your house which costs $4500. Your friend who is pretty damned good (has installed over 50 of these) puts it in. You come home at midnight, and it is freezing. You call your friend. Good luck. And, you can't get too mad because he saved you 10%.
Or you use a real, certified plumbing and heating guy. I went this route. Yes, no 10% discount. Yes a warranty after one year. But, he comes to the house within two hours of any emergency.
The whole deal is getting a fully certified Microsoft MVP with a contract who has to come fix your server within 24 hours. We all know how to have AC on another computer with last night's backup we can switch to.
