Where do you think the respected branded bars come from?
The respected companies bars are usually made in the same factory then just have the companies logos applied.
It's one hell of a naive attitude to assume that 'Made in Taiwan' = fail.

The counter argument (not mine), is that the quality control is enforced by the big brand names. Who have components produced to their exacting specifications.

Seems just a little off, to assume that factory changes into group of incompetent shite producing cowboys as soon as Mr BigBrands back is turned though.
