Default making stocks vs. buying concentrates

Williams Sonoma sells jars of demi-glace for 29 dollars. Sounds like a
lot but worth every penny. A few tablespoons makes the best beef stew
you ever made. I'm a big fan of making my own stock and have done so
for years but I can't touch this product and don't think any home cook
can come close. We usually ask for a jar of the beef for a Christmas
present.
