That would be hard to find. People thrive on perceived value and they'll even swear that something tasted better when you make them pay more for it, or put it in a prettier package. Something else also comes into play. Say you spend $80 to buy the HDMI cable with gold connectors. It'll work perfectly fine and get your 5 star review, despite the fact that HDMI is a digital signal, you get absolutely no benefit from gold connectors. But spending $80 on the 'best' cable you could get sure feels good!
My contribution. Perl Izumi lite arm warmers.

Very comfortable, no complaints on fit, but survived two washes before they started unravelling. Elite version is constructed much better.
