I've done and still do a lot of lager brewing at home.  I've got the setup to do including the essential temperature controlled lager chest (chest freezer with temp control device hooked up).  As you say if you follow the process correctly all the way through from mashing to lagering then you'll get phenomenal results.  Any variation and you'll have a noticeable difference in the quality I have found.  Doesn't mean you can produce a nice lager without the decoction mashing for example but I have personally found from repeated experimentation that you make a better beer if you go through the extra effort.
