Default 18 vs 22 K

What would you recommend if we're talking about a gold chain, not very light
in weight (more than 10 grams), which would not be worn daily? 18 K is
durable, more resistant to wear or scratching with all around better
mechanical properties, and 22 has more value, a nicer, warm color (OK,
that's a matter of personal prefrence), more pure metal...I would buy 22,
but honestly I'm scared of expensive repairing in case something happens.
Any opinion is welcome!

I have a mercedes with 12 cylinders, but I´m scared about costs
by changing the sparkplugs. :-(
The same thing you get if you buy a cashmere coat instaed of a
new wool coat. The cashmere cost more and doesn´t last so long.

Some luxury ist cheap, some luxury is expensive.
If you like it more, buy it. :-)
