I don't think you can expect any such effect. Keep in mind that there's
more to a LEGO set than the parts included and the main model. There's
also the box and instruction artwork, specialized minifigs, cartoons,
the theme itself, as well as other promotional items like video games
and posters.
While AFOLs can probably design models which are just as good or better
than the ones in official LEGO sets, they will have a hard time matching
TLC when it comes to the quality of the other aspects mentioned above.
There's also the cost factor. I suppose that costum LEGO sets designed
by AFOLs are going to be much more expensive than ordinary LEGO sets.
