True, but there are many pros and cons of each.

The $4 link is for the money-tight (at the moment, anyway), the frugal (you're
only getting the link because it's $4), and for the handy-man. Also, you can
make your own software, which is a definite plus.

The $35 links works out of the box, has great software, and is easy to use
(I'm sure the $4 is too, actually).
