Separation of responsibilities leads to a narrower, but more efficient work process? Right...

Quality construction matters to most people, even if it doesn't have a functional impact. No one is saying that for $300 you don't get a functional product, but why are you trying to say that it is just as good as the $500 products? It's not. At that price point you don't have pitted and warped flanges, misaligned bolt holes for the cross support, and crooked welds.
prove it. you know nothing about economics man. you can go and pay extra for something that can do the same thing for less, its a free world. Companies need customers like you. And by being made overseas there are more people welding them for less money. Just like Nike shoes.

You probably buy BP gas for more than everyone else buys thier gas for. But I aint mad at ya.
