If time isn't on your side, I'd personally just go to Home Depot and get some appropriate cable from there and pull it - a lot of their cat6 is junk, but they have some that's not bad - the different to the end user is in how easy it is to work with - to strip without cutting the wires underneath; and how sturdy the sheath is.
As DEL touched on, pulling wires can also be damaging to the ends - whether going through small holes or needing to secure something to the wire and pull it, the ends usually need to be trimmed off and cleaned up and only custom-cut cable will be the perfect length without excess that can be unsightly or get damaged. The other thing DEL eluded to - usually those premade wires use stranded wire so if the end does get damaged, it's not as easy to just throw a new end on it.
