But what if I kept the familiarity of operation rather than the
familiarity of brand name? Would it drop drastically?\

Doesn't work that way anymore. In the old days the manufacturer might
have included a card in the manual that you could stick on a 5 cent
stamp and ask why the rig didn't work.
People don't accept that level of service these days.

I'm not trying to be condescening...YOU buy a Gal V on ebay or swap meet
and try to get it playing to satisfaction for a single year of regular
operation...you'll gain a different perspective. I don't think you can
'homebrew' around these issues. Its always 'something'.
