Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

That's a fair point...

...but it's easy to answer. Value is a very subjective thing. I can't even begin to say whether it's "worth it" to a particular consumer. That's a decision consumers have to make for themselves. Of course it IS legitimate to make comparisons to other products at similar price points (which is widely done). But how much it would cost me makes no difference in those comparisons.

There's a place near me that makes $18,000 speaker cables. I would not buy them even a fifth of that price. They're impressive looking things--like firehoses with a space ship on each end--but cables just don't make that much difference to me. Still, I know (of) at least one person who owns a pair. That doesn't make him wrong and me right, or vice versa. We have different priorities and different notions of value.

So the point is, I don't make such judgments for consumers. I don't think most other reviewers do either.
