maximisers
Those wanting most
Maximisers is the British spelling of maximizers—people or things that maximize, or bring something to its highest possible level.
In economics and psychology, maximisers are decision-makers who seek the optimal choice rather than settling for "good enough": Maximisers spend hours comparing options before buying.
The term contrasts with satisficers, who accept adequate solutions.
