What all of them DO suggest (which you seem unwilling to accept/admit) is that they question whether the value traditional publishers DO provide (and everyone here recognizes that they do provide some--regardless of what your reality wants to believe we're saying) is worth the traditional asking price anymore.
I don't know how much simpler I can make it for you. You're arguing with people who aren't saying what you seem to need them to be saying.
The future is not tradpub OR indie; black or white. The future is a hybrid of both--BECAUSE of the choices indie success is providing today. Regardless of "tiers."

I agree for some traditional is the way to go or more precisely hybrid seems to be the choice of the future.
Now to pwalker, all books on Amazon have the publisher listed. If you are unsure a book will be to your standards, scroll down and look at the publisher. That might help you find books.
