It's definitely a trade-off between rollering and spraying, depending on your resources available. I was originally planning on rollering because I did not have a good place to do any spraying, but a friend just offered me use of his barn for the entire winter which could be converted into a very nice paint booth.
There's also that concern how much more its' going to cost for spraying because there is more waste.



Yes rolling has some inherent benefits, no overspray, can be done anywhere by just about anyone, total lack of any special equipment required, you can buy everything you need at any Lowes/Home Depot even Wal-Mart. Those are some pretty compelling pros in favor of rolling it on. Granted the actual act of painting requires much more effort, 6+ coats seems to be the norm, LOTS of sanding, whereas with spraying it seems to be spray and go.
