I shop for some things by ranking the prices from low to high. Starting at the low end, I go up until I find a product that meets my requirements. I don't know or care what the higher-priced products do, if I found one that meets my needs in the bottom 25%.

I was just reading recently that manufacturers know that people often pick the second banana - so they make a super duper top (that they don't expect to sell a lot of) so that you pick their real top of the line.
