This is slightly off topic, but relevant. I was an interior designer, high end, and found that the most expensive bathroom "jewelry" often didn't work as well as something I could buy at Walmart. Still, clients wanted the label, regardless.
I bought a longarm ruler set at a quilt show two years ago that I'm still going to learn how to use. Sometimes life gets in the way, but that purchase did give me lots of fun to think about.
