I PERSONALLY don't often look back on a purchase and think 'I should have bought the cheaper one', but regretably when 'saving a few dollars', I DO often think "I should have just spent the extra money and gotten the nicer one". You have to know yourself and where your balance of quality vs. price lies. Sometimes that takes a little explanation of why certain things cost a bit more so people understand why things cost what they do.
I agree with Rocky..... I've usually been disappointed with a cheaper article, be it kilt accessories or say the last computer monitor! I love to get a bargain (after all, I'm part Scottish and raised on a farm!) but have to temper wants with needs.
