>No I'm saying the differences in the headset quality are not a big step up from each other

LOL, have you actually tried the different headsets? The G2 is freaking beautiful, it's image quality is better then the index in every way! The Pimax, g2, and Pro2 all exceed the Index in image quality by a considerable margin! Really, try a g2 and then try going back to an Index! 

The problem is that there's no perfect HMD at the moment, you always have to compromise somewhere, but the Quest 2, Hp Reverb G2 are both cheaper and better total values than the index. The Pimax and Vive Pro 2 are better headsets than the index. Right now the Index exists in a weird niche where it's both more expensive and less good than a bunch of headsets. 

If you're interested in value then you're buying a Quest 2. If you're interested in Image Quality then you're buying an HP Reverb G2. If you want the creme de la creme and money is no object then you're buying a pimax or a Pro 2. Index is both expensive and not as good, it's not a value at the moment. 2 years ago, yes, buy the index, it was the best, but much like you don't tell people to buy a 1080TI because it was the best Video card in 2017, you don't buy a valve index because it was the best headset 2 years ago.
