Why exactly do people like Lian Li cases?

So I purchased a Lian Li PC-9F over a month ago because I had kept hearing that Lian Li is the leader in case build quality and design. After one month I am very unhappy with my case. There are almost no pro's, but many cons: Horrible drive mounting feature, sharp inner edges, scratches extremely easily, almost no cable management, no places for zip ties, not many accessories, overly bright LED's, very cheap and poorly thought out hard drive mounting, nothing is tool-less (except the 5.25" drive mounting, which is beyond garbage), cables are very thick and not very bendable, very cheap front ports (I feel like the USB's will break at any minute), and no room in the back to store cables (when I mean no room, there is NO ROOM. There is around 8mm to store cables, which is nothing).

For a $120 case I expected MUCH better, especially considering I have seen $40-50 cases that have exactly the same features and more, and they do not feel cheap at all (NZXT Gamma, Apollo, and cheaper CM cases to name a few).

Today I got to see a PC-90, which is a $200 full tower case. It had all the problems I listed above: Horrible cable management, scratches extremely easily, smudges on the aluminum, very sharp edges on the inside, poor USB's and front ports, and overall very cheap and flimsy. I have seen cases that are $100 that would absolutely destroy this case in terms of features, design, and stability.

So why exactly is there so much hype about these cases? I have had mine for a month and I am already starting to look for a new case. The cases are not worth the money at all. Is buying an aluminum case so important that you need to sacrifice a ton of features? I don't understand the positive ratings at all, these cases are horrible.

I wouldn't call leaving 50% of the edges on the inside of my case as sharp as a razor "having even the slightest detail taken care of". Build quality of my case and the case I saw today was not good. Flimsy and cheap. Materials used? I would expect they use the same aluminum that every other company uses. What exactly do they use? I don't know if aluminum has any isotopes or not. I'll agree with "looks classy" though, they look great... Until a few days after you buy it all the oils from your body get onto the case... That takes a very long time to clean and looks very ugly.

An excellent way to put it. The PC-9F would be worth it at $60, but at $120 it is a total rip off. The NZXT Gamma is $40 and it is a far better case. Even my old CM 690 II Adv which was $80 absolutely destroys this $120 case. With all my components inside the cases I can't even tell the weight difference when lifting them.

Is it honestly that hard to cut through steel though? Can't a dremel cut through steel? There are plenty of CM and Corsair cases that have a lot of modding potential and a TON of features that Lian Li's don't have for much cheaper. Plus with CM and Corsair the case isn't flimsy or cheap, they make very solid cases. Hell I'd rather buy a 650D, order a $25 side panel for it with no window and mod that instead of a Lian Li.
