Your survey made a reasonable effort of offering combinations but assumed that price would always would be a consideration. For me, price is only a consideration in that some brass steam models that I would like to have, are simply outside of what I budget for model RR. This is a rapidly growing problem and I'm glad that I was able to purchse brass during the "golden era" of the 80s when prices were, if not exactly reasonable, at least affordable. My decision process differs based upon the type of model, steam versus diesel and plastic versus brass. But first and foremost, it must either fit my semi-prototype HO branch line, OR it must fill a gap in my collection of N&W and Western Maryland HO steam. Then the combination of running quality, accuracy and details (in that order) sets my interest in buying a particular model AND my perceived value.
