@Teddy it's kind of hard to answer. The quality is superior but you are still overpaying like 1k$ just for the brand name.
It will be used rarely but then again is it better to overpay for reliable product or risk it breking down during something like a flood.
It was half paid from EU funds so there could have been additional strings attached, they probably had a list of acceptable producers.
If i would be in their place without any strings then i would go for lesser known brand that's still produced in Taiwan or Philippines.
