You get about 80% of the functionality for about the first 20% of the cost. Beyond that you pay increasingly more and more, for smaller and smaller incremental improvements.


I see your point AKSAR. In fact, that's the exact same system I apply when purchasing fine wines and spirits. Above a certain quality level, and corresponding price point, it becomes markedly harder to discern improvements.

It would take a true connoisseur to fully appreciate the difference between a 50$ bottle of wine and a 500$ one. To the largest part of drinking community, they're both simply good booze... grin

Now, if only I could find that sweet spot and get the Highland Park 12y of knives... cool
