I didn't read through the whole thread, yet, but how much were trusses vs. putting up your own joists?
Honestly, I never priced out trusses for it. I wanted all the headroom I could get under the loft, and the rafters I gave me more room than even a scissor truss would have.

If I recall correctly, I paid $20 for each of the 2x12x16 KD Fir that I used for the center rafters. So $120 for those. It took 3 sheets of OSB to cut the gussets out of (lined up just right that I could only get 2 out of each sheet). So, $18 there.
