Scaffolding rent or buy?

I'm planning on putting a second storey on our house in Sydney and will need scaffolding for a few months. After getting some quotes for rental it seems that it would be almost cheaper for me to buy new or second hand kwigstage and then either keep or sell it on ebay afterwards.

I like the idea of buying because it takes some of the time pressure away, allowing me to complete the project over a longer time frame.

Does anyone have any experience with this? What did you do?
