Just in case you hadn't guessed, I am a novice
That said, how much do kits usually cost? I'm about 172 cm (I think that's 5 ft 7") and 60 kg (about 132lb) and I'd be interested in an ANH set. How much more do ready-to-wear sets usually cost (they do cost more, right?)? I don't really trust myself to put one together well, but if it's significantly cheaper, I don't mind trying
