The only times I've had buyers remorse is when I've spent too much and bought more capability than I actually needed or used. The remorse was that I could have used that money to improve other things.

The problem with the diminishing returns curve is determining where you are on it. If you're on the straight line section, spending the extra money buys you a lot of return. If you're on the shoulder of the curve, spending the extra money buys you very little.

Alternatively, some people get a lot out of having the biggest pickup truck in the neighborhood. Not that they need it. Not that they use it. Just that it's bigger than everyone else's truck. I'm not saying this is bad. I'm just saying you'll benefit in the long run if you can define what you're really after.
