Price can also affect aspects of the tool which are irrelevant to the
quality of the result - eg it may be heavier, or a bit uncomfortable.
These won't matter to the occasional user, but will matter to somebody
who spends a lot of time with it.


That isn't true either. If poor ergonomics prevent good results that
will be true regardless of the amount of use.

Um, there's a difference between being heavier or a bit uncomfortable
and ergonomics sufficiently poor that good results are unobtainable. I
carefully restricted my statement to the former, so my statement is
true.

I disagree. Inappropriate weight for the tool type or it being in the
wrong place is one of the main indicators of a cheap product made to a
price vs. one designed to do a proper job.
