Sounds like you're going about it the right way. Audition and decide. I've found that just because something costs more, doesn't mean it sounds better to my ears. I don't have any first hand experience with Maggies, but I would suggest doing exactly what you are doing, then pick the ones that sound the best to you and ignore the price tag (assuming it falls within your budget, of course ). Remember, you're the one who's going to listen to it more than anybody else, so get what sounds best to you.
