The bottom line is, if you want to become a great, well trained and skilled drummer, these cymbals are more than capable of bringing you to that point.(and the free splash is fun to splash every once in a while.)

I bought some $700 Zildjian A-Customs because the advice at a well known Drummer's forum called Drummerworld.com was that if you are going to upgrade your kit do the cymbals first because that was most important
