Spent $400 on a new band saw blade and it's been a total game changer

I finally bit the bullet and got that fancy, high-end band saw blade for breaking down primals. It was about $400, which felt crazy for a blade. But man, the cuts are so much cleaner and faster, I'm saving maybe 15 minutes per side of beef. On the other hand, my buddy says I'm nuts and that his $80 blades from the supply house do the same job after a good sharpening. He thinks the extra cash is just for the brand name. What's your take? Is a premium blade worth the investment, or is it all hype?

My butcher shop saw a 20% drop in waste after switching to those pricey blades.

That's a big drop, @roberts.jesse. My math sees it differently.
