Heck, what a question. But I'll wade in and make a clown of myself.
I subscribe to both.
I love Zeiss gear, and have three scopes, and a swag of accessories, some costing a little, and other (yeah alright most of them) costing a heap.
I have a Tak Mewlon, again an expensive scope, and Tak eyepieces, ditto.
I do however like to buy, try, and sell later, and the cheaper stuff is good for this. I have tried quite a few cheaper eyepieces, but normally recall the views of the more expensive ones. This leads me to sell the cheaper ones, and try others, and so it goes on.
I firmly believe you get what you pay for in astro gear. What determines your taste is your budget, and your aspirations.
As long as you are having fun, who cares, it is always good to be out at night, just looking up.
