I think quality has suffered on both due to changes in origin of manufacture, component quality, build quality and such. The advancements in manufacturing technology it's all well and good but if stuff is going to be put together with lower spec components or use good spec bits but less quality assembly method then the end product will suffer because of. I think most electronics gear today is not as well made as it could be but that's just my opinion.
