When you're working out "is a particular nappy worth the money"?, it really is worth educating yourself about the MCN fabrics used in the construction of all the nappies you are comparing.

Find the nappy specifications of what you are considering buying, and take note of WHICH fabrics are used. HOW MANY layers of the absorbent fabric in that nappy?

bamboo, malden mills windpro are two expensive mcn fabrics for example.

looking up MCN supply fabrics sites will help you too
(nappies covered, fairy fabrics etc)

reading the DIY SEWING threads on Nappycino also helps. The sewers tell you what to avoid, just by reading their posts. THey tell you the good quality velcro brands, the difference between 1 and 2mm PUL etc.

i did this (fabric education), not to sew my own nappies, but to understand what i was buying in ready made mcn.

so for example, if i was comparing a PUL nappy with microfibre absorbency, with a windpro nappy with bamboo absorbency, i knew which one SHOULD cost more.

i'm not sure what age bub you have PEACHES, but if you have a new bub, sometimes i see nb sized bumgenius aio on the nurture nappies site, on the sale page. Get one to try? i wouldn't personally buy a bulk number of ANY nappy, until i was sure it suited my bub (fit wise, absorbency wise), and suited me (carewise, ease of putting it on).

next month will be The Great Down Under Nappy Hunt, good discounts available from most of the sponsors of that hunt. register for the hunt and you will be able to use the discount codes (even if you don't complete the hunt).
