Yes, it's a difficult decision. You're not going to get useful advice
from roll-your-own scientists like me. You're going to get slightly
more useful advice from someone like David Fanning who writes code for
other people. (He seems a bit undecided.) The people in the best
position to give you this advice (but who may not want to give it) are
those who've done something similar to what you're planning. Are there
any? If not, perhaps that tells you something.
