kilron, no doubt there are people as you describe. I think our disagreement is just over which group of people is more typical - the cost conscious or the convenience folks.
To my surprise I have noticed that even here, where there are many convenience folks, the price of a new model generates the greatest interest. That is to say, there is a lot more interest in a model priced, say, $30 less than a similar model. For example, I believe that the success of the Astak Pocket Pro was due entirely to their getting the price down to $199.
Also, we have had this past week these endless threads about refusing to pay more than $10 for an eBook. So people here are definitely cost conscious, and I would think that the enthusiasts would be less cost conscious than the general public.
But it's not something we can prove, so I'll respect your right to disagree.
