Yep ... "Mr. Brown" has hit the nail right on the head .

If I may clarify for you. I didn't like having my feet so far away from the rear brake pedal and didn't find the forward position comfortable at all. I don't believe money was the cause of discomfort.
I've also found that spending the most money for a product doesn't guarantee that it will be the best although it seems to be your contention.

They say 'ain't' across the pond?

I was very close to buying adjustable pegs but decided to move my smaller mounts back towards the floorboards before I spent more $$ on the bike. Doing this gave me some more options for my feet and different positions which is awesome for long rides. Considering I'm 6'4, more options to stretch out are better.

I don't know guess I'm just looking for a little input.

I like the adjustables.
