Not always the case. I have a gso superview 20mm e/p and for the price ($70) its fantastic. I also have a Televue panoptic 27mm e/p and for the price (over $500) it is also fantastic but alas expensive. The superview does suffer some edge abberations on f5 scopes while on the panoptic it's very slight, but the superview has better light transmission (can see fainter) and does'nt suffer from the kidney bean effect. While the Panoptic is over 700% more expensive than the Superview it's performance in only about 25% better.
Saying all that however, I
generally agree with the advise that you get what you pay for.
