Very true about the trend of over buying. I recently heard a marketing analyst for automotive companies say that people buy cars based on their function for the first $30,000 and anything over that amount makes a statement about how the person identitfies. His exact example was an F150. People are willing to spend up to $30k for the utility out of a pickup, but others will pay another $20K to get the harley davidson logo and hand stitched leather interiors, etc. Full Disclosure: I drive an F150 sans the harley badges. I've often heard the most effective survival tool is the one in your hand--meaning the extra bells and whistles mean nothing if it collects dust on a shelf. 154CM is a great, my Applegate-Fairbairn is made from that SS.
