I think this is one of the major bases for my indecision.  If the client
would prefer the straight sync, I may just turn down the gig.  I have a very
hard time putting out code and asking people to pay for it if I don't feel
it's done to the best of my ability with my full approval (or at least a
good 85% approval due to compromise).  Even when I was growing tired of the
refried-beans-every-damned-day diet, I wouldn't compromise my product for a
check.  I'm sure such pride can be a downfall, but I feel it's one of the
major reasons I have so much work now.
