Nah. The mojo I'm referring to has nothing to do with money.
The Olympus XA cost next to nothing.
My used Ms didn't cost all that much either.

Mojo refers to how tool feels in the hands.
How a tool responds to ones aesthetic intentions.
and
things that words cannot properly describe;
including the quality of sounds, weight, size, smoothness of movements, etc.
