Hi All,
I was having a lively discussion in this post and I thought it best to seperate it into this poll instead. The subject questions is; does paying more for a piece of lab equipment such a s a soldering iron or oscilloscope mean you get a better product? Or does paying less give you exactly the same or better?
I am fully in favour of cheaper lab gear, but I think paying less still gets you less in general and it often depends on what you need to accomplish in your project. In the post in question the arguement was between using an $8 soldering iron and an $80 soldering station with temperature control.
I'd be interested to see what people think, not just about who is right, but in general does paying more give you more? yes or no?
