Personally, the method of construction is probably the least important reason to upgrade from something like an entry level GYW brand to a high end GYW brand since in reality the construction is the most similar piece between say EG and an entry level GYW brand like AE or Meermin.As for the other points: part of the reason eg and other higher end rtw shoemakers are worth buying is quality construction. Why invest in a high end shoe if it's made to be thrown out? I don't think just the aesthetics matter here, nor does the name matter by itself.
Eg makes beautiful and well crafted shoes. If you take away the well crafted, comparable aesthetics can be readily had elsewhere.
