I'm not saying you should be completely ignorant of price, I'm saying use the standard parts and practices first, then worry about costs in revisions after you've built something. Premature optimization and so on. Maybe you can save money on a different powder coat color so you don't have to worry about skimping on parts or power conditioning or something like that. The project is usually bigger than the engineers little corner.

That being said, you should be able to have enough awareness to avoid anything particularly egregious - eg. avoid things that you would never want in a final product anyway in the first place. I guess we probably agree on that when you say standard parts etc.
