Bought my bike some treats today...

Not all snobbery mate. Heard a few horror stories of cheap levers. Poor machining led to poor fitting and in some cases causing brakes to lock up at speed. Ending in a crash. Brakes IMO is just one area you don't scrimp on.

Have to agree there. If it's something like a double bubble screen, other body fittings etc, I'll quite happily get a cheeper one rather than branded or OEM, but with pieces like brake levers and such, I'd much prefer getting higher quality branded stuff that I can trust.
