I think it also depends on what you are looking for in a quilt. Some of the BOM's that I want to do are very elaborate and detailed. And not something I would probably do on my own. And if it comes with classes as well then you have that. I have yet to make that kind of commitment, but I would if I loved the quilt. My local quilt shop just started a new BOM, but it isn't something I am interested in at the moment. There is a little quilt shop in Vegas that has the prettiest BOM's, but the commitment to drive in and go to the class has me hesitating.
