It’s a hobby. Supposed to be fun. We can have different priorities within a hobby. We spend good money on these toys. No reason it should not be visually pleasing. If looking at same-branded components is going to give you pleasure—and not irritate your ocd, then that may be worth a few hundred dollars to you. My system is all patchwork, but all my components are black which helps visually unify the pieces.
I am frugal by nature, so getting the best value and sq per dollar is important to me. Though right now I do have my eye on a second hand set of orange floor standers! 50% off, but still 8k. Gulp.
