Except it is whether you care to admit it or not.
It's called budgetary planning ... you invest in upgrades first where you'll get the biggest bang for your dollar. It's plain old fashioned business economics and practiced at all levels of business.
Cheaping out would be upgrading to some cheaper "in-between" solution with the intent to upgrade all the way later.
