    Questions to ask...

    1. How expensive must one go for "good enough"?

    2. At what cost level does "diminishing returns" set in?

    3. Are these the right questions?

    1. Only you can answer that as its actually " good enough for YOUR purposes
    2. See above
    3. See above

    In my job I often see people spend an absolute fortune on the stuff that makes it Look like they have all the good gear but cheap out on the bits that actually matter because they are not all shiny and wizzy looking. They also tend to be unwilling to listen to advice given freely.
    Its more about being seen with the "right gear" rather than having the actual right gear.

    All that said I have no problem buying the best gear I can afford provided it will last and do the job..............
