And you get what you pay for.

It's like choosing a car -- you can buy a Yugo (remember them?) which will get you from A to B (at least sometimes) very cheaply, or a Rolls Royce, which will also get you from A to B, but with significantly better reliability and comfort.
Our resident word smith has a point. But, that begs the question of whether or not he's a professional
