Business
Do you want to be a low priced provider, or would you rather sell the premium product? There are good reasons for being a low priced seller. Just as Michael Dell - that's where he started, although he certainly isn't there now. Or look at Costco, or Amazon. If you look to these models for inspiration, make sure you have three things: a firm grasp on your margins, deep pockets, and the ability to do lots of volume. Without all of these three, you will surely go broke.
Where are you personally more comfortable? If you sell at the high end of your price spectrum, you are likely to attract higher end clients, and it would help to be comfortable in that rarefied atmosphere. On the other hand, you may feel better on the low end. It's a choice and you have to make it.
What will attract the type of clients or customers you want? Your price is a signal to your potential clients telling them who you are in the marketplace. And if your goal is to raise the quality of your clientele, the easiest way to do so is increase your prices.
Do you want a low service, volume business, or would you prefer fewer, select clients and give them "high-touch"? High-volume, low-touch businesses can be very profitable, and can generally scale more easily, but require more planning. Low volume, high-touch (select always means high-touch) businesses, may be easier to build and require less overhead. If you are thinking of a lifestyle business, go the latter route.
