I've had this issue too, actually. I think choosing a cheap version is a perfectly valid solution. Either the cheap item meets your needs or you notice things that bother you and that experience can inform your next purchase.

In some cases, I've instead decided that a completely different kind of product can fill the same need in a better way.

That’s what often ends up happening, but then I also don’t want to be wasteful and buy something new before the old thing breaks.
