Weight: Secondary influence
Why the winner wins
Rank #1 is the strongest all-round starting point for the highest number of UK buyers.
When budget is smarter
Use the budget route when spend ceiling is fixed and compromises are explicit, acceptable, and likely to stay acceptable after 3-6 months.
When specialist is worth it
Use the specialist route when one requirement clearly dominates your decision more than broad value.
What changes the winner
A different product would win if either your spend band changes materially or one non-negotiable requirement becomes dominant.
