Question Invert pack?

K, I've got a question for all the 3reeefers out there that have cleaner inverts like shrimp, hermits, and snails. I've gone onto marine sites and noticed that they sell "invert packs" such as Basic & Deluxe Reef Packages

Is it a good idea to invest in one of these, or is this just a load of crock and a way to make more money? (I can not begin to describe how much I would rather not have to spend an arm and a leg for inverts) Do you guys prefer to but your inverts individually, and do you have any suggestions on how many of what for a 55 gallon reef tank?

I have no inverts currently, I'm waiting for my tank to finish cycling, but when it's done I want to get a good cleaning crew.

Thanks everyone!

I have picked up some of my cleaning crew on ebay with good results and being a lot cheaper. Might want to look around.

The price seems awfully high for a bunch of snails -- I'd shop around. Try e-bay as Otty suggested.
