I like being able to design/build what I want however. The variety of the metal structures is pretty limited - at least the ones I've seen. I imagine they're a PITA to insulate if you ever want to down the road also...
It isn't so bad. My aunt has a barn garage with a kind of spray foam insulation on the inside.
