The "Leather Seat Dilemma"...

I was buying a car for my wife a few years back. We did a lot of homework and decided on the brand, model and color of the car that we wanted. While entering the showroom, we were pretty sure about what exactly we were looking for and we thought it would be a very quick transaction.
Then the dealer started giving us hundreds of options beyond the brand, model and color of the car. Tilted glasses or not, moonroof or not, alloy wheels or not, and the list went on and on. The one that caught our attention was, whether leather seats or not. Although the earlier questions seemed more or less straight forward, this question was a tough one for both of us.
After a long analysis, we finally decided to go for it!!!
And then came this additional information from the dealer. For the mid west weather, we would definitely need heated seats if we want leather ones.
Eventually, we didn't buy the one with leather seats because, considering the additional value we were getting, this double investment was not worth to us.
Sometimes, in software testing world, we do not realize that we make similar uninformed choices. We first buy licenses of expensive test design, test automation or test management tools and then we pay a lot of money either to hire skilled people or to train existing associates so that the tool can be used in the organization; without even analyzing whether this double investment is worth the additional value or not.
