It's a lot like the old mechanics joke when people pay more than what they expected or wanted to..."You can pay me know, or you can really pay me later, your choice"...lol...lol.
I would rather pay the price now for a better quality product that has real warranty backing behind it than to throw away money two or three times in a row and wind up with alot of nothing for my trouble, not to mention my time and effort putting things together only to have to tear it apart to do all over again and still having to pay again for whats needed to repair something that should have been covered by warranty in the first place.
YEP, you do spend a little more up front, but it is worth it especially with the warranty included.
