Beware the contractor that seems way less then others, chances are you aren't getting appropriate coverage or workmanship.

Like Rathji said if you are going 90% of the way, go all the way. The extra cost is made up in time in about a week. |
I've seen these orbit online designs and i'm always somewhat cautious of them, their coverage seems to be lacking and they always max out the zone sizes (what happens if your water flow drops as the house ages or new development occurs?)

Like tieing a shoe (over under in and out), whichever way to get the lines to where they need to go but be aware that roots seek out water and guess what... I've actually seen tree roots choke off lines and grow around them and into them making the system useless
