Best place to order a crate stroker motor

Is it really just better/smarter to buy a turn key stroker over pulling your engine and doing the stroker kit? I mean price wise. Obviously it's better to have a professional engine builder to assemble/break-in/tune the engine... Because I've read you spend out the same money piecing together a stroker as you do buying a drop in engine. I've always been under the impression stroker kits are cheaper as long as you know how to do it.
