agreeded, I alway felt the advantages of the BMS solution were:

1. It came with a battery backed-up real time clock

2. It supports two hard disks on the same controller

3. If and when i wanted to upgrade to a larger disk, i just unplugged
the old one and plugged the new one in

as to cost, be creative, most cities support at least one good used
electronic surplus/salvage store
