Low cost motion capture

Hello guys! I was recently researching about motion capture systems and found many methods and hardware, some of them are expensive, some are cheap. As we are indie, we are looking for Mocap for like 2k$ or like this. I know we need to clean up animations anyway, please do not tell about it. What I want to hear is what way will give us cleaner animations? First option we have is to use some Kinects v2.0 + PS Eye and Move. It will cost around 500$ + 1000$ for IPI Soft wich can record and convert all the animations. Another option is to use 8+ cheap FullHD 60fps cameras (~500$), any black sport suit (~100$), small balls (paint them with reflective paint)(~50$), and some lights(~50$). Use it as studios do with Motion Bluilder (1000$). I know there are speacial cameras for Mocap, but they are really expensive.. Some say kinects + IPI are better choice, no need to wear any suits or work with marks. But my guess it that using cameras with suit and marks will give us cleaner animations, but what is better in your opinion?
