surfito is right on, and it goes far beyond the design industry...
a good client will always look for reliability and talent over price. They may have a budget, but if they trust you, they'll find ways to fit you in to their budget.
If price is the first thing they're looking for it's because they have either a low budget or no budget at all and they think they'll wing the money by the time you're done.
The cheap ones don't trust you enough to use your better judgement either, so they'll make 4am changes regularly and nickel and dime you to death until you'll want to pay them just to stop working on the project.
I don't give a damn what they're promising, if you can't get them to agree on paying what you know the job costs, then they aren't serious enough of a client to do business with. I'm not saying don't take the job, i AM saying take extra precaution with em.
