Keith Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 +0000 http://xcski.com/wordpress/?p=296#comment-360 I dunno from seal-skin and whalebone canoes, but my experience is that any major purchase that comes with any significant drawback is a mistake. Every time you use it you are aware of the problem and wish you really had the better thing that you couldn't buy at the time. That disappointment never goes away. Any time you use something that's really right, the sheer luxury of getting what you want, and not compromising, is a renewed pleasure. This is especially so if the reason you didn't buy the right thing was a question of money; the difference in satisfaction quickly overwhelms the importance of however much money you saved, even for fairly large amounts of money. Paying for quality really works. (That is, that rationalization works pretty well, in my case.) HTH HAND!
