Hmm...thinking about it, I'd rather have a £5 knife that cut well for a year before busting, than spend £5000 on a knife that was guaranteed to cut for a century.
I'm sure that there are plenty of counter-examples. It really depends on the product, but in most cases, I reckon I'd rather spend some money on something that did the job than a lot of money on something that did the same job, but looked shinier.
