True, toner transfer is certainly the least expensive option that still
has good turn around time. 

That said, it does involve some really nasty chemicals, and in hobby
context can certainly be inconsistent. 

Remember too that you'll have to manually drill your holes (although
admittedly there are fewer and fewer holes on the boards I make), a mill
can drill the holes for you with only a bit change.
