Can we talk about homeowners who buy their own main panels

Had a call yesterday in a new subdivision outside Birmingham where the homeowner supplied a 200 amp panel from a big box store. Took me extra time because the bus bars weren't lining up right and the knockouts were thinner than what I'm used to. He stood there watching and said "it's all the same, right?" No, it's not the same. Has anyone else dealt with cheap homeowner-supplied gear that just makes the job harder?

Whoa hold up, I gotta disagree a little bit. Not everything is the same, some stuff actually works different even if it looks similar on the surface.
