Better performance gives way to less stability or quality. We could go with a crap ssd and psu and up the cpu and gpu all day but its not a better build.

Oh lol. But that does bring the price down in real life, so I'm not sure if it's cheating or not (since the rebates will save me around $20)

mail in rebates change, that's why i have them disabled :)
