It's really just a matter of who made it. I always look at reviews of a model before buying. I ain't got the patience to sharpen a faulty edge myself. Sometimes a manufacturer defies expectations with a specific product, like Cold Steel's Italian longsword, which has one of the best price-quality ratios I've ever seen. Most of the other ones are either Japanese swords (which don't interest me) or have some defect that affects like 65% of them. I'd buy their polearm heads but they aren't made nearly as sharp with the exception of the poleaxe. Admittedly, quite a few of them are spears, but a good edge makes that thrust glide in so much easier.
