Up-badging is just not cool anyway you look at it - from the car purist or from the principled point of view (not a good idea to pretend to be something greater than you are). The converse is different if, like Goran, you dress down and achieve the wolf in sheep's clothing effect.
This forum is like the Gok Wan/ Fosters advert for doing the right thing. 
The key difference when it gets to the crunch is, as IT says, in the gear ratios as well as "a few extra ponies" .
