I think it's a good idea, but not always feasible.
Also, the absolute top-of-the-line may not be reasonable, when a "near-the-top" product would be just as useful.
I own a lot of stuff that doesn't really catch anyone's attention, but cost a fair bit. Examples are Junghans and Oceanus watches (I prefer the Oceanus, which cost half as much as the Junghans, but I now wear neither, as I have an Apple Watch, which costs less than either of them).
