Hello and good -Time of the day at your current location across the globe- !
Over the years, my father always said - The cheaper, the more expensive it is (a rough translation from my native language).
As time went on, I found it to be accurate across all fields in life, if its cars, light bulbs, cloths or this very computer Im writing this post from.
In general, when you buy something cheap, you will eventually buy more of it/replace it more often than you would if you got the pricier one (lets consider the price corresponds with the item's quality and the changeover of the items is due to malfunction).
Lately Im finding myself in not one, but many dilemmas where I catch my eyes on a set of pipes I would like to add to my collection, and turning my eyes towards the more expensive ones, backing myself with my father's philosophy,which turned out true and pretty consistent through my life, claiming the expensive ones will be much better overall because it will endure longer and i will enjoy it more - Knowing in our hobby, this philosophy is not exactly true due to the fact that beyond a certain pricepoint quality will not always be the reason for that price tag on the piece.
So my question is now to you all, have you found yourselves facing the same dilemmas? anyone else has some good one-line phrases which always at the back of your heads?
Do you prefer less pipes but expensive ones, or more pipes but cheaper?
