Nice idea.  You could probably even expand it a bit to include a
"budget" selector.  It doesn't have to be all that complicated.  Give
them a "low", "mid-range" and "deluxe" choice on the individual items
(and include a brief description of the features, although this last bit
might also include links to an explanation of the terminology used -
some DIYer's may not be all that familiar with them).  It would probalby
improve the time it takes for them to proceed from actually making the
choice to getting into the shopping cart (and educate some which would
reduce the time they tie up your tech support line).  You could also
include a script to display additional choices like: "customers who
purchased this item, also bought..."
