I used to use a similar comparison but with autos. 4 wheels, propulsion, gets you where you want to, Kia or Mercedes. But there IS a difference. A higher rate doesn’t guarantee a high quality escort. But, like. Mercedes....a higher rate comes with better reviews, more dependability, higher chances of a good experience.
It’s not a simple comparison - we are talking human beings vs watches/autos. But some of us will pay a premium over basic.
