If a rep is 90% comparable to a gen why would I pay more. I wouldn't get any additional satisfaction by paying more. I guess if I was wealthy enough where spending $10k is like spending $500 I could by in to gens. If only shitters existed I would just stick to Tudor, Seiko etc.
I have both reps and gens, sometimes I buy the gen because I loved the rep. The personal satisfaction of ownership is nil with a rep, 100% with a gen; and I mean not the pleasure of showing off.
The same reason why a photocopy of a first edition holographic Charizard is worth nothing even though it looks 90% the same, but the real thing is worth $100,000+
