You assume that "high end" manufactures are 1) Major manufactures, and 2) have R&D deparments.
The VAST majority of high end manufacture's are very small operations and the R&D department consists of either 1) the founder/owner, 2) staff "engineer", 3) Paid firm (Madrical for example)
In ANY true major manufacture, the prodect is designed and engineered to meet a set & established price point. (No offense to any Engineers out thier, but working with them in my job every day - if the company does not put a cost constraint on the Engineer they will engineer a box that cost $20,000 to produce!)
