I think there are a lot of very good papers in second or even third tier journals. Conversely, there can be very very bad paper in top journals (I remember a paper by Zilotti and al. that was just terribly bad with hypothesis totally unacceptable and it was just published in the AER). I really believe everyone should not judge the quality of a paper upon where it is published. You will miss a lot of good stuffs.
