I'm lucky enough to own the best acoustic guitar I've played in 40 yrs. of playing guitar. Rarely do I meet anyone who knows about the maker, so I suppose the headstock name means nothing to me. Had it not blown my hair back when I played it, I would have set it down and moved on.

Names on a headstock should mean enough to draw you into auditioning them. They've earned that by producing quality instruments over many years. That name does not guarantee anything further. Believing it will, is blind faith and owning a guitar for the name on the head stock is a rookie mistake, or the act of a blind loyalist.
