Re: China Optics why all the fuss?

I believe the biggest problem is that there are certain people (and i'm not trying to be insulting) that are gear snobs, and if you start insisting anything could come close to comparing to their top end, 3 times as expensive gear, they're going to step in real quick to defend their purchase and the reason they spent so much more money.
There is certainly some of this attitude in the discussions that get out of control, but the other position that is taken up is almost a reverse "gear snob" . . . Why would you waste your money on X when Y is just as good and only costs 1/3 the price.
Maybe it is not the intent of the poster, but I can see how the owners of the premium equipment feel like they are being called stupid for wasting their money.
