Yes, I could tell. Sure, I could be biased. I own both, I paid more for Vintage. I'm almost positive if I've come off as anything in my 3 years here it's pretty objective. I've never posted a review, I've never pimped a product, I've always been forthright and honest about products when asked. If I thought something was as good for less money I'd say it. So far I haven't found it. Vintage looks good. It looks, to me, better than most stuff I've used. $1900 better? No. Does the entire package make it worth it to me? Absolutely. I've yet to come across a product that makes it as easy for me to clean a car. Combine that with the looks and the refills and it's worth it.
In terms of a business perspective - like anything it's all relative. I have a client with a GT3 RS and a 640GT *and* a GT2. That seems excessive to me, hell it probably seems like madness to a lot of people - to him it makes perfect sense. The cars are difference enough, and he has enough money, that it's worth it. It's like any hobby - I like speakers. Maybe some of you know this and maybe you don't; but speakers can be pretty pricey, and for every word we've written about waxes here on Autopia there are 100 miles of writing on which sets of speakers is the best, and just like waxes there is the consensus that once you reach a certain point, any improvement is going to cost you an exponential amount.
Lastly - for the guys who will inevitably preach about prep...yes, I get it. I'm almost positive most of you have seen me around here enough to know that I am not trying to sell something, or tell anyone that prep isn't what makes a detail.
