Only reason to make one is because you can't buy the mirror you want. They are so cheap these days, making one yourself makes no sense at all if you can buy one. I made a total of 5 in my younger and sillier days, but no more.
If buying a commercial mirror, either buy a cheapie and take a punt, or spend quite a lot more on one from a reputable maker that might stand by their claims for quality.
Premium eyepieces won't cover a rotten primary mirror - if anything they will make its faults all the more evident to those who know what they are looking at.
