"Is it worth the extra (insert amount here)?" is so relative to the individual as to be virtually impossible to answer.
I have had people tell me that my 39A ought to fix me breakfast for over $400... but I don't mind the money and I'm darn glad to have it. Conversely, there are people (serious competitors) that put 4 figures into a .22 rifle, which I don't think I would do personally.
But then again, someone looking for that first rifle might not really appreciate what I get for my $400, and the .2" groups you'll be buying for even bigger money do not make or break things for me.
It is truly subjective; depends on what you're trying to do and how well you're trying to do it. Pride of ownership is a factor also. I generally tell people to start at the low end of the scale so that they have something to work towards and look forward to later.
