To rent or to buy linens and centerpices... that is the question

So I though I would save some wedding cash by buying my linens, my venue does not provide them. So Ive donr my research and the average price TO BUY  a White 120" table cover, 60" satin overlay is between $23.00-$28.00 bucks ( I added in tax & shipping)

I have 15 tabes so we are looking at like $375.00.

To rent them at http://cgblume.com is $17.00 per table or $255.00??

So its like $100.00 bucks difference... but its $50.00 set up/break down fee so Im looking at $330.00.

Is it worth saving only $70.00 bucks to rent?

I mean if I buy I have to pay the venue more to set everything up, do i drive myself crazy setting up hundreds of pounds of linens myself, making sure they are steamed out and set up. When Im done can I really resale them?? And chairs & sashes is a whole other mess

Soooo many questions?? Maybe Im over thinking :(

    I would rent them. It is not worth the set up and clean up hassle or stress on your wedding day. ten years from now you are not going to be upset that you didn't buy the linens, and are you really going to want to go through the hassle of cleaning them and storing/reselling them? But have you found your caterer yet? I am just asking because ours provides linens... and the china.
