I also found quality/features to be an odd distinction to make. Then again, I've never been a real fan of 'cheap' either. Experience has shown that there are very real upper-bounds on the effectiveness of throwing resources at projects. And, particularly when you're having these late-cycle meetings, it strikes me as flat-out disingenuous to imply that throwing money at a project is a reasonable or even plausible way to hit an expanded scope on an existing schedule.
