I think you should take the Mark phillosophy to all things technical in that the more money you extravagantly spend the better it's bound to be. Even if you have absolutely no idea why this thing is so expensive so long as the salesperson thinks it's good then that must be OK.
The process only ever breaks down if you talk to John Lake who will go "why didn't you buy ..." and regail you with all sorts of, what he sees as, common sense reasons for a different purchase. But he knows that all I hear is blah blah blah something technical, blah blah blah something else technical and all I'm thinking is "but mines more expensive" - works every time.
Hope this helps
