Even though the specs appear the same there definitely are differences between different models based on what I've read. For example, apparently one cheap zoom (possibly Seben, I can't remember now) has plastic lenses and is awful.

However, my impression is that once you reach a certain price point the quality is the same or similar, and paying more might not be worth it. I'm trying to figure out that point!
