Sorry, just to be clear I was talking about fixed or fixed/free hubs.
The road and mtb hub market is big enough to make having a range of models viable. The above is exactly why I don't think there are co's like hope, shimano, SRAM, campag, etc. offering a mid-range option in fixed options.
Overall I do accept the diminishing returns argument. Just that in this small market I don't think it works like that.
My reading of all these "which hub" threads has been that the conclusion is: buy the bottom, because they're good enough or the top end if you want to. Then people who actually just want to buy a particular brand because they like it, try and think of reasons to.*
