i'm sure in some of the high end art cases sometimes there is a loss, sometimes a significant gain. choice of medium and interpretation can be the bane of some artists. as far as products for consumer retail, more expensive, say lamps or other interior goods obviously take on more heft if not simply strength the higher end you go, the difference between laminates and solid woods or cheap composite metals compared to high end aluminum. I have clients who deal with clients that demand specific approved manufacturers with specific materials.
it is said that the chinese had completely reverse engineered a 737 and built their own setting next to a working model however would not operate properly let alone fly due to the mismatch of materials between the fuselage, supports, wiring, etc causing it to be tons over flying weight.
