I think there is a difference. I don't buy "way out there" cars. Usually they are overpriced and they underperform. The same is true about a musical instrument. Going hog wild will get you something unique alright -- but you are likely to overspend and not get the performance you want.
I may not want a Chevy Cavalier -- nor do I want a Range Rover. I want something that is going to be great, with a bit of mystique, but not strange or crazy.
There is fitting in for no apparent reason, unique and mysterious, and then there is extravagant and obnoxious.
OK, I might like obnoxious once-in-a-while, but I abhor being extravagant.
