I ride 9 speed and use mainly Sram chains. However, I did use a Shimano 9 chain with sram masterlink and had the chain break on a climb. It wasn't the master link that broke, but another link away from it that I had never touched. Since I wasn't hurt, I just figure it was a bad chain. Don't know how you can check something like that.

Chain, cassettes/freewheels, cables, hoods and other replaceables have gone up. Not sure if its all the yuppies as you imply, but more the value of the dollar, or lack thereof.
