Anybody want to take a stab at an 'it depends' question?

What would be a wag at a percentage increase in cost between building on piers vs digging out for a full height basement/foundation?

Are we talking about a $1,200 vs a $12,000 pricetag?

You sure do gain a lot by going the full basement route. Equipment you can put down there and STORAGE! Let alone a killer woodshop.

So has anybody done the math on their build and decided one way or the other based on that?

Thanks guys (and girls).
