I would say that's up to you. I only made the comment because it's a feature that's easy to overlook while comparing prices.
I paid roughly $4000 for my tiller about 20 years ago. I've done a lot of different gardens with it. Would a used $1000 tiller have done the same? I don't know. What I do know is that the neighbors who bought a $100 tiller at an auction sale get me to rototill their gardens. Part of their problem is that the tractor they use is too heavy and packs the soil rock hard.
I guess it all boils down to what compromises you are willing to live with.
A lot also has to do with the soil composition in your area.
I could run a 20 ton asphalt roller over my sandy soil, and still plant seedlings.
