Dropped $80 on a Japanese pull saw and it made my miter box look like a toy

What's the deal with how fast a good saw makes you realize all your other tools are junk though? I had this old Stanley miter box I got from my dad, thought it was fine for years. Then I picked up one of those nicer Japanese saws on a whim and suddenly that box felt like it was fighting me every cut. It's like once you feel what a real sharp blade can do you can't go back to the cheap stuff.

So did you swap out the miter box next or just learn to live with how sloppy it felt?
