Well, it's of course what you pay, combined with the idea of if you play merely as a hobby, or in a studio/home or such, those frets will likely work for years just fine no problem...but I would be worried using it in varying humidities and temps and rigors of the road and playing hours almost daily etc...so you get what you play for; if you play for a touring band, you get the best possible, maybe even SS frets, or a guitar tech to keep 'em fine, but if you play for fun, you can just get a guitar that sounds good and plays fine no worries what torment it can take.
