I think that by itself quality is overated. We need to figure out 2 important things.

1. Is it worth it? IOW, should I buy a $10 hammer that lasts for 4 years or 3 hammers at $2 apiece that last for 4 years total? IOW, if I pay twice more for your product, is it twice as good as the cheaper one?

2. Can I afford this expensive one today. Doesn't matter how good it is but if it cost me $100, can I pay that much for an item?
