   Simple question--insanely complex answer!   
      
   How about an analogy?   
      
   You can buy a Bic pen in the supermarket for 19¢, or a Mont Blanc for   
   hundreds or thousands of times as much. The MB will write, it will   
   probably write smoother and better, and last longer, but the major   
   difference is in the pride of ownership.
