Should a buyer always use a broker?

So no one - myself included - thinks FSBO is a good idea, but what about buying without a broker? I always thought it was silly not to use a "free" service, but assuming you are relatively well-versed in what you're doing and considering how much info is available online on sites like SE, are you foregoing an advantage by not going at it alone and letting the listing agent have an incentive to push for you with the seller since they won't have to split commission. After all, nothing is really free, is it?
