Just a shower thought. Obviously depends on the industry, but in terms of electronics I fee enthusiast grade (think gaming motherboards, for example) are better built than professional grade. Thoughts?

True, but there's something important to point out there. Unlike consumer or business grade stuff, the military will know that it breaks after 3 uses, label it as such, and mandate that you replace it after 3 uses, even if it's still working. The stakes are often as high as they get in the military, and they treat it accordingly.
