In today's world this statement has never been more true . You can spend a small fortune trying to get a mediocre barrel to shoot to your liking. Put the extra money into a great barrel and be happy. Because either way, it is going to cost you. Personally, I would get the better barrel and eliminate a lot lot frustration down the road. Just my take on it. Good shooting guys.^ Great barrels are practically free (compared to wasting ammo, testing, frustration, replacement, etc)
