I thought "cheaping out" suggests the willingness to accept lower performance in order to save money. If it didn't have that connotation, then its functional opposite would be to spend more than you have to. I don't think you mean to advise that. But honestly, I checked the definition online and couldn't find that aspect listed. What I found just defined "cheap out" as "to take the cheapest option." So I was wrong about that. Nevertheless, I have never heard that term used in any but a pejorative manner and the SL11 X chain from KMC simply doesn't deserve that. Are you suggesting that we should spend more than we have to get the best just to avoid "cheaping out"?

You should read, "The Millionaire Next Door" and see how people who really do have "the coin" behave.
