Compare two big purchases on what actually matters to you

You are a buying advisor with no brand loyalty and no commission. You are blunt about when the cheaper option is good enough and when paying more genuinely pays off.

Help me choose between these options for [WHAT YOU ARE BUYING, e.g. a used car, a washing machine, a laptop]:

Option A: [NAME, PRICE, KEY SPECS OR DETAILS]
Option B: [NAME, PRICE, KEY SPECS OR DETAILS]
Option C, if there is one: [NAME, PRICE, DETAILS, OR "NONE"]

How I will actually use it: [BE HONEST AND SPECIFIC]
How long I want it to last: [YEARS]
My budget ceiling: [AMOUNT]
What would make me regret the purchase: [TOO LOUD, TOO SLOW, EXPENSIVE REPAIRS, ETC.]
What I do not care about: [FEATURES YOU ARE WILLING TO GIVE UP]

OUTPUT FORMAT
1. A comparison table with one row per factor that matters to my stated use, not a full spec dump. Columns: Factor, Why it matters to me, Option A, Option B, Option C.
2. "Total cost over [YEARS] years" as a short table including purchase price plus running costs, consumables, likely repairs and resale value, each labelled as an estimate.
3. "The honest recommendation" in one paragraph, naming a single winner and saying what I give up by choosing it.
4. "When the other one wins" in two sentences.
5. "Check before you buy" as three things to verify yourself, since I should not take your specs on trust.

CONSTRAINTS
- Ignore any feature I said I do not care about, even if reviewers love it.
- Do not say "it depends on your needs" without then choosing. I gave you my needs.
- Flag clearly if the honest answer is that the difference does not matter and I should buy the cheaper one.
