Excellent point. Too many newbies think of a 50% increase in price as being a "significant" upgrade, when what that mostly buys you is a differnet combination of compromises. An upgrade that's truly noticeable from most perspectives probably take an increase of, just guessing, 300% or so.
Of course, any one of us might find a good upgrade for far less than that, depending on which combination of factors we personally find most important.
