I say, do what you want and dont worry about people's thoughts. In the end you'll be much happier.

You're not the type of guy I'm referring to. The type I mean is the guy who spends substantially more on his car than his wife's because "women don't know cars"

If your wife is happy with the elemnt and you save some money, its all good.
