Can the fabric/zipper be that much better?

I'm in the market to buy a new sleeping bag - a large/tall style that's pretty warm. We don't backpack so weight is not my main concern.

What's been your experience if you bought a higher priced sleeping bag? Do you think it was worth it?
I think the key is often weight. Bags with the same temperature rating can vary greatly in price due to weight.
