Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of?
I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.
Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.
Anything else like that?

Niche musical instruments. A "cheap" hurdy gurdy can cost up to 2000 dollars and still sound like a bag of cats in a washing machine.
Some new recent models that are relatively cheap and sound okay exist now, but you really need to do your research.
I'm now really interested on how does it sound to have a bag of cats in a washing machine but there's some ethical problems...
BearMcCreary used a Hurdy Gurdy to make the music for the TV show "Black Sails": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utLXgOnIwdo
Might give you an idea how hard this instrument is to master.
Why hurt animals when you can just hurt your ears?
Here's a YouTube link to what I meant though
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I'd argue yes most of the time but with some exception. I can't imagine something like a gut bucket or musical saw sounding considerably better even with more expensive materials and construction techniques. I'll admit I'm not like a music person I just dabble though so idk just guessing
I grew up playing a 1965 Yamaha FG-150. I got a Martin when I was 18.
Guess which one I’m still playing today? :p
Sometimes cheap instruments can turn out very well.
The key to what I said was "fringe", sure, cheap keyboards and guitars, etc. that sound great exist. Less popular instruments that are cheap are a massive gamble.
