If we're talking about savings $100-$150 a year but that would involve much more effort on the part of already busy volunteers, my vote is to respect peoples' time and spend the extra bit of money.  Viewed in relation to other expenditures in our budget, this doesn't seem unreasonable.  Of course, fully document etc.
