Good explanation of the problem domain and reasons you'd want to make the choices you do. I find it likely that we'd make the same evaluations given the same set of circumstances. I'm in a position right now where more of my projects fall on the "get it done" side of the divide, but that doesn't mean that I can't see the value that heavier architectures bring to other, larger projects.

It's often overlooked when talking about delivering software. It makes sad to see how many people think that the code they write is a success even if it made them miserable the entire time they were working on it. Business value is important, but being able to find personal satisfaction while delivering the business values is on the same plane. I’m glad you included “Personal success” in your criteria.
