I think a lot of people here are discounting the fact that a lot of customers want to buy the high end model for the reason that they perceive it as better than the other models . The specs can be ignored because they are largely irrelevant in this regard , in almost any category there are people who want the best . Although the little white lie about the specs serves to the benefit of the customer who bought the cheap model , the customer at the high end , probably your better customer , while not getting cheated on specs is getting cheated out of the prestige they desire . They are also paying extra so that they can win the race and they are not getting this . The way to make them stop is , if it ' s possible , bring those facts about the stats to light in the eyes of their customers .
