Which did you see? This is the one I'm familiar with:

The UFF numbers are right from their promotional video. Using the same discretionary income they use, DIY is faster by 2 months, and $4500 cheaper. And that's BEFORE the $3500 cost is applied. The actual difference will closer to $10,000 cheaper and 5 months faster with DIY.
Ironically, DIY is also remarkably easier in this example. An extra $1000 per month is applied to the mortgage. That can be set up with a bank as an automatic recurring payment. I did just that with my bank.
