A goofy Aussie named Dave Jones runs a popular blog and YouTube video channel on the topic of electronics. A popular feature are "teardown" videos where he dissects gear on-camera to see how it was built, and deduce what the design tradeoffs were.
In a recent video, he "tears-down" his own G3 kit (and presumably re-assembles it after making the video. As he is not really a production professional, his perception is that the G3 is "top of the line" (as is the perception of most of his non-media followers). However the design and construction of the G3 is impressive. I suspect that the build-quality of Lectrosonics, Zaxcom, et.al. are only incrementally better than this G3, which is as "mass-market" as it gets for pro-sumer gear like this.
