Italian term or phrase: compromesso costo qualità
I think that any translation of "compromesso" into English will have a less than positive connotation in this context (an enthusiastic ad). The original invites the reader to "vieni da noi e trova il miglior compromesso costo qualita' per soddisfare il tuo sogno". I am leaning towards a paraphrase- such as "find the best value". Any thoughts on how to keep the tone super positive? Thanks
