Buy for success. It is less challenging and success is more frequently obtained. The disadvantage is obvious, everything is inflated, and I am surprised by the price of commercially available kits, especially if they are not main stream or made in China. It is definitely more economical to make than it is to buy.

Use of exotic material may be great, but if it comes at a high price, then it is a case of whether we are willing to pay the price. So are the tools or equipment, they are functional but expensive.

It is possible to reduce the cost of this hobby by being creative with the material, tools and equipment. Make it yourself and it can still work, but it may take a longer time and effort.

Use commonly available materials and be creative in their use. Similarly for the tools and equipment. If the hobby is buy and fly, it is still a hobby. If the hobby is make and fly, it is still a hobby. It all depend on oneself.
