Nah, this whole "buy the counterpart coz it's cheaper just doesn't work".

Just because the design and the parts are pretty much the same does not mean that the finished products will be the same. It also depends on how they are put together.

I remember a few years back there was a Rover which was identical to the Honda Legend (can't remember the Rover version's name). The only difference was that the Legend was put together in Japan and the Rover in the UK.

What a surprise, the Rovers were constantly being brought back for repairs. The Hondas only ever stopped for fuel. The difference in the build quality was astonishing.

Look at it this way. If I give you a pile of bricks and some mortar and ask you to build a wall you could probably do it, to a degree. However it would be all over the place and would fall down in a gust of wind. If I give exactly the same materials to a decent bricklayer he could build a lovely, square wall which would stand up for years. A wonder wall, as it were.

Unless of course there are any bricklayers reading this, in which case "not you, arse".
