Ceramic coating applications are expensive, but doing it yourself costs a lot less. The initial investment for the DA, pads, and compound may be expensive, but then you have them in your arsenal for future use. It takes a long time go go through a bottle of M110 or M210 if you use it sparingly. I am fortunate enough to work at a shop that allows me to use Ceramic Pro which is not a consumer product, but Cquartz is a great consumer coating that costs less than $100.

Anytime you can do it yourself will always save you money. If you never ran a D/A or Rotary it's a learning curve. Time is now at least a weekend for someone to perform these steps or more. If you willing to give up 2 to 3 days then I say absolutely go for it. The next time will be a lot shorter.
D/A's make paint correcting a lot easier then learning a Rotary. A Rotary you can do a lot of damage a lot quicker then you can with a D/A. To me the D/A is like a toy as I grew up Rotary. I like the D/A as it's so damn easy to use.
