Part of the problem is number of pieces available to me.  For example I
have 395 1x16 Technic bricks.  And that doesn't included the hundreds
I've purchased in bulk.  I have similar availability in other sizes.

Now I apparently have 68 15 long studless beams.  Again with a related
distribution in other sizes.  However I'm currently keeping a lot of
sets that included these pieces together.  So that reduces the
availability of studless parts a lot.

But when I'm building something studdless I run out of pieces too
easily.  When I build studded I can go all day and never have to think
about part availability.

So not only am I learning how to assemble things studlessly, I have to
relearn how to use parts efficiently.  I hate that. :-)

Hmm, the solution seems to be buy more Lego.  Well that can't be a bad
thing.
