David, For astronomy, definitely so. The greater brightness and contrast, and to a lesser extent the truer colours, are definitely worth it. Faint fuzzies will be easier to spot with these. Plus build quality and comfort level is miles ahead.

But if you gave both binos to someone on the beach or in a park for a quick look, they would probably prefer the views through the cheaper pair because of the wider AFOV and the more contrasty first impression due to the slight greenish tint. The wider AFOV also makes following moving targets easier.
