To be honest, I've read the same, but so far I haven't had any issues with them. As long as your wheels are in gauge etc, it seems not to have an impact, but others might have different experiences.
Yes Fast track stuff is nice, but as you say, the initial outlay (incl jigs etc) is a bit pricey indeed. I think once you build 16 plus turnouts of one size, you start to save money. Less than that and you'll just have to view it as an investment in the hobby and get the enjoyment of building your own without thinking of the costs too much.
A few more pictures:
