I don't think anyone here needs to justify why they like/don't like certain styles of pots, whether in terms of visual aesthetics, quality, price or provenance ... it is just nice to have choice and the ability/means to choose.
Inevitably it comes down to personal taste, style and perceived/real collectibility, application and value. That is why we frequently refer to our hobby as and art, it encompasses many aspects that we all place different emphasis on ... the horticultural challenge; the artistic bent; the collector; the adherence to (Japanese) styling rules; quality vs quantity vs variety ...
Also at play is your personal interest, how much of your precious time you are prepared to spend learning about the specifics?
Personally I admire pots made from all different countries (though I don't have many of those), But I do like handmade Australian pots, I like the fact that every pot is different and has an individual aesthetic, I like to pick a pot up feel the textures and admire the intricacies first hand, most potters have vastly different styles, most of the time you can have a chat to the artist, and the majority is good quality. Of course the same could be said for high-end Tokoname as well (providing you can read/speak Japanese), it all comes back to YOUR style (or lack of it
)
