It would be nice as it sometimes happens once in a blue moon that you don't
get what you pay for. As sometimes  don't have to pay so much cheaper stuff
is just as good or better.
In this case you do.

I will say this discussion comes up on the Lug twice a year for 17 years and
its usually half the guys swear by the cheap ones.  When I argue to not
nickel and dime on batteries for a premium camera  I'm shot down. Now all of
a sudden its "don't get the cheap ones".
