My clone build broke the tuner, should have stuck with the kit

I spent 4 nights wiring up a Klon clone on perfboard instead of just buying the kit with the PCB. Everything looked fine until I hit the power switch and the tuner just stopped reading, turns out my ground trace lifted because I bent a resistor leg too hard. The kit would have cost 35 bucks more but it would have saved me two hours of tracing with a multimeter and a trip to the parts store for a new switch. Is it worth doing the stripboard thing when you're starting out, or am I just making extra work for myself?
