So is it just pure utilitarianism? When you want to get something accomplished you pick the state of the art thing but when you just need to get kicks out from something you turn to the old ones?
Oh what a conundrum! I'm sure there are some who combine both pure utilitarianism--wanting "to get something accomplished"--with "getting their kicks" by plying sweet young things with whiskey and wine. Here possibly the enchantment vs the enhancement would depend upon wither one was on the receiving or the wielding end of the sword.
