I've tended to think this way, but it's all relative. Plenty of people who've never had a $50k job will treat the $100k job as the baseline/minimum, and wouldn't ever think of going the extra mile like you do. For you (and me?) - yeah, you're paying "a lot", I'll make sure I do a bit extra/more when needed. But if you've never had less, that $100k is your bottom, and you might only consider doing 'extra' for a $200k job.
