The cue-maker really does not matter when you acquire a new cue that really strikes your fancy.
The price you paid or the value you think the cue is worth now, or in the future, doesn't matter.
What matters is the cue has everything you want in terms of specifications, balance and its feel.
However, if the cue happens to be from an esteemed cue-maker like TS, well that's a grand slam.
