At a certain price level, they're not interested in going through any effort to save what will be a small percentage of the total price, and yes, they will want the same high quality in the total package. You don't normally see Walmart floor mats in a Mercedes.

I read this post, and it made me think about a post I read earlier today. The author of that post was looking for advice about what college courses to take to be sucessful in photography as a business. Most of the advice that he was receiving was that the business courses were far more important than the photography courses (which I agree with)

This post is the perfect example of why. What cdifoto is doing works for him, his business, and HIS BOTTOM LINE! Sorry if I'm kinda getting off topic, but I had to comment on this.
