Yeah, I think many "buy it for life" items are generally only sensible if you depend on them either for work, a somewhat regular hobby, or for everyday use.

Sometimes it almost hurts me to buy cheap junk. But then I also realize that this is perfectly adequate for my use cases and even $10 more for another product would not be worth it. (And who says that the other product would really be better?).
