If I can ever afford to comfortably afford bespoke dress shirts and suits, I'll hire a tailor.
I can currently comfortably afford Diet Coke, so I buy it over generic.
Now, a stock chevy will get me there...Men's Warehouse I can get a suit, and Diet Rite Soda has mostly the same ingredients...
PenquinDeD do you happen to make any of these choices in your life? I beleive that most of your argument is monitary. You win the lotto...are you going to argue that you'll ride a bike with 105? What has changed other then your bank account?
No, you're right. If I was rich, I'd ride with the best. I'd recognize it does have some slight performance advantage, and because I can afford whatever the hell I wanted, I'd get it.
It still doesn't make it right though. The price still does not reflect the increase in performance. I'd just be too rich to care whether or not it was a fair price.
