Our next restorative course is coming up, and everyone's researching/buying loupes. I've done a lot of research, and I've narrowed down the kinds of loupes I want, but they're really expensive. I'll be getting the student discount, so I guess now would be a good time to buy them. And they'd be an investment for the future.
But, I just want to know if the difference in quality between companies actually matches the vast difference in price. Like, why does glassware cost more than my 2015 Macbook Pro? And why is this Designs for Vision headlamp literally a thousand dollars?? https://www.designsforvision.com/Reality/FirstLookWLmini.pdf
Basically, the question is this: Is buying from companies like Orascoptic/Designs for Vision substantially better than buying factory direct from places like Shultz (loupedirect.com)? I'm willing to go with the more expensive stuff if it really is that much better. Does anyone out there have experience with both ends of the spectrum? Thanks.
