No, I don't agree with that. A cheap lens will almost never outperform a more expensive one of the same specs. A Canon 35mm f1.4 casts $1500, a Leica 35mm f1.4 costs more than twice as much, and will outperform the Canon in sharpness, contrast and flare control. Is it worth the premium? Only yourself can answer that. To me it was.
Now, you say Apple products cost more, but in my case, the HP product would have cost $500 more for the same specs.
