You should take more care on picking your examples... Both the mentioned 
subjects are fairly straightforward to configure in a way they flame out.

However on the subject at hand, to a knowledgeable buyer there is value 
on operational specifications the network commits to (like latency, 
jitter, packet loss, reconvergence time, etc.) To an occasional buyer 
("end user") the value of a brand name is more significant.
