Sorry, I forget sometimes that people who are not native english 
speakers sometimes misunderstand special sayings like this.

In english "Sticker Shock" means "surprise at a high price on 
an item".

In the future I'll try to not use these kinds of phrases on lists that 
I know have a high percentage of non-english speakers on 
them.

Yes, that was essentially what I was saying. Some people 
decide that the "better" hardware isn't worth the extra money, 
some people decide it is.
