It's a toss-up. I was taught (a hundred years ago) that with constructions like this (well-built, even-tempered - that is, short adverbs modifying the adjective), use the comma if it comes before the noun and omit the comma if it follows. It's one of those "rules" that becomes more "convention" than anything based on logic. I still follow the suggestion.
