no the pool was not more expensive than a similar sized plywood build (i know because i have one) but the down side to the pool is that it is strictly one size fits all whereas a plywood built pond can be tailor fitted to a certain room. you can make more use of the available space. but then again the curved cornerless design of a round pool is a major positive when dealing with monster fish that way they dont cruise the side and run into a corner.
