I agree that conventional wisdom is a powerful indicator of
value/performance in products-- i.e., why are there no Yaesu MPs for sale
used?? or no 40-2CDs used for sale, and why do guys still collect
TUBE-infested Collins S-lines? Performance does speak in this way, and
has a lot of wisdom in it.
However, along with these factors are the strains of un-reason and
convenience:
brand loyalty (Swan lovers),
easiest to put up (stacking quads should really be a challenge),
following the herd (34XA lovers),
believing what I have is the best (folks who purchase the auto for the
name-plate), and
falling in love and stubbornly staying with it when the real
undergirding for the love has faded (Apple users).
