And then I would say that if you can afford 'anything' that is at the edge of the expensive side of a product's price range... And you want to buy it... you probably do not need anyone's blessing to do so.

But if you base your positive opinion of any such product [as applicable] based on your not wanting to admit to yourself you didn't get what you paid for, then I'd say you meet the criteria for the stereo type.

Prospective being everything, and it is both the money and prospective which matters to the purchaser. But don't think any one at the club or the cockroaches in you wall can hear any difference. But you can't rule it our either.
