The last pair of Oakleys I had lasted a decade, and I lost them traveling or else I might still be wearing them. The pair I have now are actually similar to what you posted... the titanium frames that will last forever, and after ~6 years the lenses still look new. I've bought cheap pairs before, and I agree with DJ that comfort is a big deal... I'd get headaches from poor fitting pairs.
I'm sure some people keep cheaper pairs for just as long or longer, but once a
decade goes by it's a matter of $10-$20 per year for the extra comfort and visibility.
