There is absolutely nothing wrong saving big $$ buying Phal. I would do the same.
My circumstances are so different than everyone else. Though I am a hobbyist grower, I do have a tropical plant business. I can't compete with the big box/grocery stores and thus it would be ludicrous for me to purchase "ordinary" Phal., grow those seedlings for a year or two, and then try to make any sort of profit. What little profit I do make goes right back into buying supplies and plants.
