Is a Perfect Grade worth the price over a Master Grade?

Reviewers we read are split. PG kits like the Unleashed RX-78-2 deliver an inner frame, hatch-opening gimmicks, and 1/60 scale presence that MGs can't match, and many builders describe the experience as the highlight of their hobby. However, Master Grades typically cost a third as much, finish in a fraction of the build time, and modern MGs (and the MGEX line) close much of the detail gap. PGs are best treated as a centerpiece project rather than a first build.
