While I am NOT "Cheap", I am POOR. You saw what I posted about what I 
need my automation to do. Will Rivendell do this and how difficult is it 
to "Roll my Own"? What are the system requirements?

THAT is very difficult to beat !

Knowing how simple my needs are, What would be the advantages of buying 
the commercial version of Rivendell?

I would bet it is the same reason I run Linux on my personal computers, 
and I switched my Wife and Step-Daughter's computers from Windoze to 
Linux! :-)
