I think there's a bit of all of us in that thinking. That's why I've encouraged folks to BUILD THE LAYOUT NOW. It will act as a governor of sorts for one's buying habits, 'cause you'll immediately visualize how many trains you "need". There's only so much space on the layout and display shelves -- not to mention storage space for the empty boxes! And when you reach the limit, you know it's time to sell something before buying a new item.
