Might as well have the best

There is a high-end clothing line whose motto imprinted on the label is "Might as well have the best."

¿Más valdría tener lo mejor?

I'd prefer "más vale". "Más valdría" would give me the impression that this is not the best I can have.

Yo lo haría algo libre... (aunque dependería del público al que se dirige el eslogan...)

¿Por qué no tener (llevar) lo mejor?

Bien puedes llevar lo mejor.

¿Por qué no, lo mejor?

Lo mejor: ¿por qué no?

¿Y por qué no permitirse lo mejor?

Saludos.
