> "The $3.57 you save on capacitors per unit will cost you $50 in lost good will."

Or it might cost you $0 in lost good will, and will gain you $5 in sales because many price-sensitive people will buy the thing that's cheapest, without doing an omniscient analysis of its quality.

Not to mention that gold-plating your capacitors won't do you much good if some other part is expected to fail first.
