I wouldn't say this is downvote-able, and appreciate the insight. Being an educated consumer is a struggle, you do the best you can with the information you have and often end up making compromises (whether it's with personal values or forgoing that new gadget you "need"). I had never heard of ABUS until recently, was intrigued by their offerings, did a bit of research and the Plymouth Brethern stuff surfaced pretty easily. Like you mention, you weigh that against the record of other players in the market, and their suppliers, and make a choice. Often it's a compromise on personal values :shrug:
