I am trying to determine if a handcrafted key, like the JM March or Schurr Profi, are worth the extra $100 over the Kent.

If you had an extra $100 to spend on a quality key over the Kent ($140) would you have spent it on a handcrafted key like the:

JM March R-3a Magnetic Paddle $220

or

Schurr Profi-2 $270
http://www.schurr.de/produktex.html

It seems to me that with a handcrafted key you may be paying more for elegance and looks than smooth, solid workmanship. If the March or Schurr are truly higher quality keys then I'de like to know that.
