I disagree for the most, normal law does not reign in DR. If it is not under your own personal care 24/7, if anyone else is likely to use it, come into contact with it or have any use of it what so ever, then forget spending your hard earned as you would elsewhere. Tools, appliances, whatever will not last the expected in DR, just how it is. I tend to stay mid range on hi-fi's, Tv's, general appliances. Buying top quality does not justify itself IME.
