My neighbour paid half what I did for PPF and I'm trying not to be annoyed

Bit of a rant mixed with a genuine question here. My neighbour and I both got PPF done within a month of each other, he's got a Camry and I've got an Accord, so roughly similar size and complexity. He paid around 3500, I paid closer to 7000 and I'm sitting here wondering whether I got completely rinsed. Before anyone says it, yes I did my homework, I read a guide to comparing PPF costs and packages in Abu Dhabi and thought I understood the variables, but clearly something's off. His film has a five year warranty, mine has ten, and the shop that did mine removed the door handles and mirrors while his just has visible edges around them. So is that difference really worth double? I'm not losing sleep over it but I'd like to know from people who've had film on for a few years whether the cheaper installs actually start peeling at the edges or yellowing faster, because if his holds up just as well then I've learned an expensive lesson about paying for the name.
