You say a number of times that you don't mind spending money on this project. Its important your advisors know your objectives and resources.
I recently had a contractor explain a 60 day delay on a building project by saying he was trying to save me a little money. In the end he failed to save me the money, and I'd gladly pay twice the $1,000 he was trying to save to get those 60 days back.
I was surpised he didn't understand my objective, but you can be sure he does now.
When your advisors do not understand your objectives they will make wrong decisions or give wrong advice.
Of couse having them on the same page still doesn't mean they will always be right...
