True, very true, You'r exactly right, But when I hold these two shorts in my hands there is such a profound difference in the material, they way it feels and stretches, the weight, the seams, the crotch pad. They both cost about the same But If I didn't know the price of either pair and some asked me to guess based on how they feel in my hands and how they feel on the bike after an hour of hard riding and sweating.....
I'd reply, "The Pearl Izumi Elite In R Cool must have cost about $50 and are worth that, The Craft shorts must be north of a C-note, ($100) at least."
