Finished a kitchen install without a single Blum hinge and it worked out

Last month a client in Denver insisted on no brand name hardware, just wanted plain self closing hinges from the local box store. I pushed back at first because I thought cheap hinges would sag or misalign, but they had a tight timeline and a fixed budget. I put them on 12 doors across 4 cabinets, took my time setting the depth and tension on each one. Three weeks later I checked back and everything still lines up, no squeaks, no dropping. I'm not saying I'll switch full time, but it made me wonder how much of the premium hinge talk is habit versus real need. Has anyone else had a good run with off brand hardware on a real job?
