Without taking sides in the actual comparison between BAM and
Quicked, that is a bad analogy even if superficially it may seem
persuasive.  A decision maker's (user's/buyer's) marginal utility
for the monetary difference between the price of a Caddy and a
Chedy, and the difference of BAM and Quicked are in entirely
different brackets.  Basic economics and decision making utility
theory taught at any business school. 

   All the best, Timo
