That's a very good point. Costs certainly are a hugely significant factor that I overlooked. I suppose it would come down to how much of the in house framework you could write up front (so you wouldn't necessarily need to hire as many engineers and could cut some of those labor costs preemptively) and how well that framework is actually written. I think that there are probably too many variables to have a one size fits all solution to this question, however.
