From what GMcG wrote, I don't think it's quantity instead of quality, but rather quantity first, and then sort for quality among those longer titles.
I'm not quite that extreme, but I do pay close attention to length and I like to get a decent bang for my buck not only in the reading experience, but also in cost per hour arena. I sometimes delay purchasing short series or sequels I know meets my other requirements if I expect they will be repackaged as omnibuses, often with a lower price per word. I buy games looking for similar value. Among those games that are higher quality, I look for those with longer gameplay potential and often wait for GOTY/gold bundles.
I find it interesting how different people approached the topic. Some very personally, in what they do. Others more along the lines of what they believe the mass market does.
