Just because what you choose may not be an option is no reason for another person to not explore that option.
There are some products I would never buy new and there are also some products that I would never buy a generic version of. But for friends of mine, the new or generic version is what they opted for because it fit their needs.
I don't morals have much to do with this. But, I think it would be "morally incorrect" to not make the other person aware of all options available to them.
