Totally agree. I'll happily spend more if I know I'm getting something that is better quality. But figuring out whether those £150 hiking boots are any better than the £30 ones (to use a recent personal example) is very difficult. It generally takes experience. Lacking that I try to find advice from a trustworthy source. The internet has helped massively in that regard.
