I'm one of those garage hackers, I have a quote from PCBWay, $286 for 20 boards including assembly service. I also got quotes from companies in U.S. - $2700 from a popular company in bay area - $2000 from another new pcb company. With tarrifs, my PCBWay order is around $789. I'm new to PCB Design, I cannot afford to do $2700 mistakes, with PCBWay hardware is more accessible.

Why are you building 20 boards if you are new to PCB design and can't afford mistakes? That's tremendously risky. Even pros build a couple proto boards for the first run, and sometimes hand assemble them if able, not.... 20?
