A modder that has achieved success enough to become an ongoing concern has passed significant testing in the marketplace against competition. Even before that, they have received far more feedback and had more chance to optimize. That is almost as valuable as design skills.I work in offshore production, and cheaper labor and volume make up by far over any overhead. Hand production by a designer is the most expensive way to go... unless it is his hobby.
Working with Oppo is a significant attractor to me, gaining insight that cannot be gained by "looking at the circuit." Being in the embedded electronics design world, this is clear.
I can't weigh in at all regarding these two modders, but I can at least debate your points....
