Ok, might be getting a little too political here, but our modern capitalist society is fueled by hype, particularly these days with the interweb at anyone's disposal to sell whatever can be conjured up. Worthwhile products along with snake oil.
As I get older & wiser myself, more & more I see the wisdom in Jack's take on life, despite the fact that I may offend all the Oprah & Dr. Phil fans out there...  and if you think you didn't get what you paid for, you can always diy or modify it...  However, admittedly, I am still fickle with regard to my spending habits. While I do own Vortech pumps & have no regrets spending the money, I also run an old school air diffuser driven skimmer that came with my used salt water set up. I like to think I did my homework before spending that kind of money on a pump as well as not spending any kind of money on a skimmer.

After many years of retail and consumer experience I do know this: The more hype a product gets the weaker it is. A few examples that people will probably recognize are
1) Movies (the more commercials the worse the movie is) 2) Cellphones (remember the LG Chocolate? How many iphone commercials do you remember seeing on TV?) 3) Chrysler products (flame on!) 4) Women (sorry ladies but I'm sure you'll agree: the more they advertise the less they are worth the trouble)

Totally agree with this. If a product is worth it's weight in gold it will sell itself.
