Yeah, most status symbol items are tremendous wastes of money and meant just to display your position in the world. But I don't think you asked this question in Tech because you wanted to know how dope they look; gear nerds are going to break it down to a quantifiable, bang-for-the-buck answer. And that answer is pretty resoundingly that, from a quality and performance perspective, you can do a lot better for a lot cheaper, but they won't have the (unearned) image recognition.
