As with traditional photography, it's not what gear you have, its what you do with it that counts. I reckon I could produce better footage/images with the Spark than a lot of people could with the Phantom Pro (based on the quality of some of the footage I've seen out there being produced with the top of the range hardware). It's one thing buying the best drone you can afford, but another thing totally knowing how to plan your shots, manage the light and then post-process your work. That's the sort of thing that money cannot buy.
If a customer chooses one person over another just due to the price of the drone they use, then that's a customer I don't want to work for.
I'll concede that the camera on the more expensive drones is going to be marginally better but coming from a traditional photography and videography standpoint, when you have a lens with an aperture the size of a gnat's penis, there's no comparison to getting a drone that you can attach a dslr to.

Thanks for the well thought out response @markangeltrueman if it's ok with I'd like to look to you for mentoring from time to time. The Phantom or higher crowd is mainly for Dronebase insurance inspection gigs (mainly just to pay that bad boy off if I finance or fill my calendar if the upfundme is successful). I'm hoping to get some raw footage tommorow morning and edit up a little something to show.
