Performance differences which are undetectable to 99% of users are irrelevant to the elites (or those that aspire to the ellusive 1%). So even selling a lower end Tak to finance an alternative will, to them, always be unacceptable - the answer, of course, is to spend more money to stay elite.

Want perfect colours without the need for expensive "near perfect correction" just get a Newt. Pin point stars, and perfect colour, a Mak-Newt.
That's the problem with a bad case of brandsnobitis, Glen...those that suffer, make bold claims to support their more expensive purchase but don't generally back it with empirical evidence
