I would say it depends on what paint you are using and your style of painting. If you are making expressionist paintings in oil paint or heavy body acrylics, where you want bold, unpredictable strokes, then cheap brushes that splay are going to totally work for you. As for not pressing down on the tip, again, there are plenty of artists who boldly smoosh their brushes onto the canvas and really dig in, and so they prefer cheap brushes. You wouldn't abuse an expensive brush like this, it would be pointless and a waste. If you are working in soft body acrylics and your work is more controlled and detailed, the yes, good brushes are essential. I would argue that the more fluid your media, the better brushes you want to buy. What might be a perfectly good brush for soft body acrylics might be a terrible brush for acrylic inks or watercolour.
