The big difference between the cheapies and the big brands is the much tighter tolerances, quality materials (usually aluminium), safety features/functions and of course the warranty.

As long as you're happy with what you have purchased

I guess I am a bit cynical when it comes to some of the "big brands". I have worked in sports wholesale and retail and seen brand name products which were EXACTLY the same product as a so called cheaper brand. The ONLY difference being the name on the product and the price. You are right, it is all about what works for you and what you are happy with.
