One thing I have noticed is the complaints as per manufacturer.

If the pilot buys a name brand model, with several flaws, and pays 500 dollars, he claims it is great quality, with "minor niggles".
If the pilot buys a no name model, with several similar flaws, and pays 300 dollars, he claims it is lousy quality, full of problems, and flys awful.

I doesn't matter how good the no-name product is, it is always garbage in the eyes of some people.
