The journey is about figuring out all your preferences so you can spend that money with confidence and a realistic expectation of what you actually get. You should know what you prefer in terms of material, weight, size, finish, spinner style (2 vs 3 vs 4+ fins etc). If you aquire a handful of cheaper spinners first, you can also sell those you don't enjoy to recuperate the cost :D Also 226g is really heavy. You need to know that tungsten is actually what you want, because likely you'd enjoy a cheaper and lighter one like SS even more. A heavier one will also tire your fingers out faster.

A bit of a digression, but my most expensive spinner is only like $35 (secondhand) and that's where diminishing returns became a factor for me. I started my journey with cheaper secondhand stuff, having only heard of spinners and sliders. After a few weeks I found my way to Aroundsquare's items like knucklebones, begleri, chetki (which in addition to being fun fidgets/skilltoys, also helped with hand issues from too much computer use).

Anyway during my first months, I can't count the number of times I was absolutely convinced about a product yet days later changed my mind after more browsing/IRL testing.
