I think there are two approaches to expensive components, neither better or worse, but different.
On the one hand, many look at the expensive product as a Sunday best. They want the product to remain in its original unmarked condition as long as humanly possible. Others accept the scratches and bumps as being part of what the intended use for the product. I remember a while back one of the auto magazines had an article about some guy who bought a top of the line limited run Ferrari. Where the dozen or so others Ferrari produced of the model were going straight to climate controlled garages, this guy said he hoped to have 100,000 miles on the car within a year. If the White pedals are anything like their other products, they will work wonderfully for years. They may not stay looking swell, but that is the risk I will take for using them.
