The less-than-perfect repair is to do all of that but for the expensive part, the finish work. Having that done professionally, without the finish work, is not expensive, less than the cost of one-way shipping to Taylor.

It certainly becomes more difficult.

Don't just squeeze glue in the crack unless you don't mind devaluing the instrument.
