The only reason I would do this is if I believe this will give me a noticable improvement in image quality compared to using a more everyday collimating set for my newtonian(turns out its an F/4).
Could a cheaper option give me the same results? Would I really notice the difference? It's a lot of money, but maybe its worth it.

You get what you pay for jps. That is a top of the range, precision made set of tools. Adjustable to your F ratio, easy to use and you can check and adjust your collimation quickly anytime through the night.
With experience, I wouldn't doubt some people 'may' acheive the same standard of collimation with the cheapest of tools, but not as easily.
