Think of it as locking in value and making a quality improvement. When the bike goes they can be sold on and ASV's will normally return over 50% of what they cost new if they are tidy. You buy an expensive Ducati to appreciate it so surely it (and you) deserve quality?
Or you can spend £50 on Chinese junk, not be totally happy and write the value
off.

Sorry, I don't remotely accept your description of the Chinese levers as junk, and I currently have them on four bikes. The machining is superb and they function better than the Brembo levers that Ducati felt were appropriate for their expensive quality bikes. Perhaps you were unlucky with the ones you've seen, but mine do what they were designed for, no more, no less, and cause me no unhappiness. (Happy levers: go figure!) No bragging rights, sure, but maybe the money for upmarket levers would be better spent on something like fuel to ride?
