BG, That is how I see it too (that you can answer yes to both questions) not everyone will... but if I can answer yes to both then they aren't totally interchangeable (not that FranchelB intended that)

on the second part, I don't actually (in my day to day life) equate monetary considerations very closely with price at all. However, my response was about how I perceived FranchelB's method for determining value... if that makes any sense. I perceive value a little differently probably than some. I will see a product and I'll evaluate it based on my needs and requirements and then I'll select a sort of 'good, better, best' of solutions. good will satisfy say 90% of my requirements, better 95% and best usually exceeds my requirements by a margin of several percent. Then the issue is of re-evaluating based on cost and convenience. I'm looking for a 'sweet' spot of maximizing the elements of the solution, valuing convenience and service and then settling on price.
