Attention to detail is the most important thing when framing! when you have a 2x6 wall the variation in wall thickness are minimal, but as soon as you start building a truss wall your variations in wall thickness can be quite great and that might not seem like a big deal until you have 20 windows in your house and are down to trimming them out and trim isn't fitting because the window is square and the opening isn't, or the outside of the wall is out of plumb but the inside wall is plumb.
Traditional trim is designed to cover up flaws but we have moved away from the layered trim that can cover up 3/8" variations, but if you want to use modern cheap trim you need to make sure that the trim you are using is going to be used within it's capabilities.
I mention this because when I was building straw bail houses we ended up coping every piece of trim to fit, a window that should have taken 15 minutes to trim out took 3 hours and that house only had 12 windows or so, but that is fewer then normal but that was a full work week of just installing trim.
