Assuming you mean business class fares in general - rather than J fares , I disagree. Price does matter and if the price is too high, the person may well just book on another carrier

I purchase business class tickets, but I do spend time looking at fares and how to best purchase and on what airline before buying. Price , schedule and product quality are all aspects that I consider. Qantas , for me these days, nearly always fails on the 1st, generally on the 3rd and ( for trips to Europe ) on the 2nd
