    Adam Savage has this ideology that if you start a new type of creative hobby, you buy the cheapest tools that has the functions you need. Then when that tool breaks, you buy a nice and expensive version that will last.

    Because you have proven that you will use the tool enough to break it.

      This works great for a lot of hobbies but not for some. Some hobbies you certainly don’t want your main tool breaking on you. But it kind of applies you don’t need the top of the line to start with but at least opt for solid quality over fancy features.
