...My biggest thing is I hate rework and waste and...

That is funny. I fully agree with you if we are talking about any thing serious like payed work etc. For me the permission to "rework" as often as I like is one of the outstanding attributes of a hobby. If I don't like it or change my mind of have anything else I can do what ever I want. That is a very high value for me because you can't do that at anything else then at the hobby. But the very best is that we can fully disagree and be very happy with that situation because it is hobby

I guess that thought never entered my mind seeing any rework cost money and waste- a thing I do my utmost to avoid after all replacing switch(es),track ballast etc cost money that could be spent on other hobby items such as that new sweet lookin' NS or Southern waffle boxcar.

Of course MR being a hobby that lacks guide lines one is free to pursue,redo,replace as he or she sees fit and as you noted everybody is happy.
