Default Should I take the big step into animatronics or computerized lighting?

I had my finger on the submit button for my Light O Rama order, when I paused, thinking if this is the direction I want my yard haunt to go. I've been amazed at the fine work some of you do with skeletons like Skulltonix and light displays like the singing pumpkins.

Light O Rama is having their big yearly sale this week, so I need to decide asap. I just have some lingering doubts.

I'm not trying to stir the pot, but want some honest opinions. Is it worth it? Will 20 hours of work on one song for my singing pumpkins result in only passing glances from TOTers? Do people actually stick around for more than a couple minutes watching an animated skeleton?

I find myself looking over Youtube videos. Yes, some cool effects, but I have to be honest and say I've rarely watched an entire video.

Is the time and expense worth the effect?
