This ^^^ is exactly the approach I suggest.
"I had one and had no problems with it" isn't a good enough testimonial for me. I don't want a gun that is measured in "Had no problems". I want a gun that "Feels/looks/shoots great" TO ME, not someone else. It has nothing to do with brand loyalty or snobbery. I'm not interested in a gun that is "good enough, especially for what I paid for it".
Appreciating a Corvette doesn't mean you're thumbing your nose at a Yugo. But to suggest that the Yugo is "just as good" (or better) than the Corvette because you didn't have any problems with the Yugo, or that it cost $40k less, isn't my personal way of justifying my purchase of the lesser-mobile.
