Buying $300 powercord gets scoffing from non audiophile friend (as usual)

I have finally jumped for a Pangea AC9SE powercord for my Bryston 4B-SST2 amp.
Naturally my best friend is incredulous i would waste that much for 'nothing'.
Yeah well so what.
The Pangea AC9SE have a rebate if you send them ANY IEC ended cord, $50 refund.
So I made certain it was ANY, and yeah, any, so i sent in a junk 'who knows what from' IEC ended cord. So instead of $350 for the four meter, the total cost is $300. (return postage cost $5.35)
$300. is still well within the 10% total wires percentage considering the Bryston costs $5K.
I figure the amp is the best place to put the SE version if i have just one.

I'll post what i think of the Pangea AC9SE after I have it a few weeks.
