I think it's the same with everything regarding the cost; you pay a lot more to get from very good to best, which is usually just a little better. Sometimes it's worth it sometimes not. Getting 10% more CPU power for an extra $1000: NO. Paying a lot more taxes for sake of top quality education and healthcare for a small proportion of the population on low incomes: YES. Paying 3x more per eyepiece for less (although still not absent) aberrations: I still haven't decided.
BTW, I just ordered some UO HD orthos because I'm curious and not entirely happy with any of my EPs on the planets.. On Mars I'm not too impressed with the Naglare (my priciest EP).
