Default High Quality Hand Tied Flies

I have a question for all you fly fisherman out there. Where do you buy
your flies? A lot of flies stocked by some fly shops are of medium to poor
quality as are the one's available online. However they usually are cheap
in price. I've done a lot of commercial fly tying in the past but it was a
side job for me. I've since retired from my full time job and am looking to
get back into professional fly tying again. What I wanted to do was set up
a web site so the flies can be ordered online.

I use only the best materials like Hoffman (Whiting Farms) hackle, etc. I
use Hoffman Hen hackle tips for all my dry fly wings, even the small sizes
rather than duck quills or other items. They provide a much better
silhouette and minimize line twist. I would tie custom patterns to your
specifications if you wish. My flies are not your common fly shop type but
are designed to give the best presentation, durability and performance.

My question is, would this be something you think people would be interested
in or do you think most people prefer cheap (inexpensive but less quality),
over quality (cost a little more but more quality)?
