Such a decision should be made on paper, never in your head, and when you feel tired or pressured.

Fast Focus Applied
This simple 10-minute tool lets you compute preferences in multi-factor situations. You will see clearly how much more you will want one feature than another including mid-range features.
Example: Say you need to buy a new vehicle. Why do you shop around so much? Because you want a lot features, and the costs are high. Your preference might include:
- Price/discounts/terms
- Economy of operation/mileage
- Engine configuration
- Model : 2-door versus 4 -door, Hybrid, SUV, etc
- Ease of maintenance/repair
- Safety features
- Availability/delivery
- Dealer service reputation
- Luxury options
- Design, colors, etc
If you find a car will all your choices, you'll snap it up. But you tend to fnd cars with only some of your choices. You list your preference, and seek the vehicle with the most "matches." Even if you go to the next step: weighting the choices on your list, you'll settle on the car that meets more of your top choices.
