Postdoc or technician (reprise)

I have decided to hire a postdoc. My feeling is that if your lab is small and you have enough money to get a good postdoc you should do so. A technician can be much more helpful when your lab is packed and you to generate 10 clones a week and pour 50 plates a day. I truly understand the value of a technician. In fact I have seen a few technicians that can blow away most postdocs, but the chances of me finding (and being able to afford) one at this juncture is remote.
