The compression coupling costs ~$8/pcs (Lower and Home Depot) and the flare
coupling about the same, but is used for two attachments. I payed $1 for the
PL-259 so the total cost for me was $5 per coupling plus about 10 minuter extra
work (20 minutes to cut, drill and solder per two) per attachment.
You can do the rest of the math. More important, I didn't now where I could get
the "right McCoy".
If you or somebody else have a link I will look in to it as I have several more
to do.

How much cheaper is it than buying the right adapters?

I took some photos of my attempts to connect a PL-259 to "the common" 1/2 "
hardline. The simple way is to use a 1/2 " compression union coupling but I
also used a 1/2 " flare union coupling. That require soem "shop"-work but
came out good (at least in my opinion.)
