ETA that Cook's appliance corner was not very helpful.

I love ice cream as much as the next guy, maybe even more. But, having hand-cranked out batches previously in my life, I have to wonder: why bother? And having used even the automated machine: why bother? Unless the closest Baskin-Robins, Ben & Jerry's , or (best yet) local ice ream parlor is a long haul away, what advantage does the DIY approach have?
