His argument is just like the debates with mechanical watches. Yes, my little $40 Russian Vostok Komandirskie only is slightly less accurate than a $10,000 Rolex, but why would I tell people to get the cheaper watches? Watches are about the feel of them, not just the value which is the same with bicycles. Any $10 digital watch would be more accurate than any mechanical. If it makes you happy, go ahead, buy it, and enjoy it!
