I think that hits the nail on the head. If you're getting it released it's different. If you're putting something together for demo's, etc, it doesn't (necessarily...) hurt to have a go at mastering.

This probably only applies to someone who's actually getting their tunes released - if you're just learning (or doing it for kicks) then their's no reason why you shouldn't have a go at mastering it yerself.

Mind you, I just spent a long weekend with Noisia (some Dutch producers who've just signed to Nerve & Protogen) and they don't use any mastering tools at all. You can't polish a turd.
