Spanish term or phrase: calidad al alcance de todos
Estoy revisando una presentación (oral) de una empresa y han adoptado este slogan.

Quiere decir que sus productos son buenos pero no son excesivamente caros, que cualquiera los puede pagar.

Necesito una expresión que suene bien tanto en el R.U. como en EE. UU.; las opciones que se me ocurren a mí (ej. quality for all) son bastante pobres.

Muchísimas gracias.

Explanation:
This is not an exact translation but expresses the message, and given this is marketing, is a colloquial yet catchy way to put it.
