"The pleasure of quality long outlasts that of savings."
I have found this to be true many, many times in a variety of purchases.
Do not hurt yourself economically, of course. However, scrimping for a month or two or three to recover from a big purchase is far, far more comfortable than, in my personal experience, years of wishing that I had bought the quality item in the first place.
There have been several times in my life when I have chosen the cheaper thing in place of the quality thing. Many, many times I have ended up trashing the cheaper thing either because it failed and I ended up buying the quality thing eventually, or because I have been so disappointed with myself for choosing poorly that I junked the cheaper thing and waited without the thing at all until I could afford the quality thing. Talk about throwing away one's money.
Certainly I speak only about myself and from my experience. Alternately, I once wanted a big thing and I paid for it by giving up coffee for four years to please the wife; a complete monetary offset.
Best of luck, neighbor!
