: You of course mean "its not worth it
: now" right?
Certainly when money is no object, the whole playing field changes.
: kinda like cars, there are so many models -
: I believe you could compare a Rolex and
: Omega to Rolls and BMW literally speaking.
I'd compare it a lot closer to Mercedes and BMW. Both are well known, popular and heavily mass produced luxury products. One is even more widely known and costs noticably more for a comparable model, yet both offer similar quality products. And in some cases, the 'underdog' of the two exceeds the 'grand master' in features and performance.
Rolls Royce is more like Patek Phillipe. Prestigious, hand made in limited quantities, and significantly mosre costly than its mass produced competition.
: I really dont understand people who try to
: compare these things - hmmm...
Best to simply evaluate each choice for its merits and select based on that. Our highly sales/marketing/competition-driven culture teaches us WAY TO MUCH to find differences and use them to judge one winner and that the rest are losers. This is too frequently to the extent of total disregard to whether the perceived difference is of any real significance! Much better to simply appreciate the merits of what each choice has to offer.
