To me, yes. Quality sockets are less likely to strip a bolt, and they are also thinner. Every now and then I find myself in a situation where my thin Mac or Snapon sockets work, but a cheapo craftsman socket that my friends have doesn't fit. (Like when torquing down the nut next to the power valve on the jug of my friends cr125).
