Default hid worth it?

I posted a question before about light bulbs for my 6th generation accord, and someone mentioned HID, and now from what i have researched are they really worth it considering the prices?

Dpendings how much you like your lighting. I went from a $400 hid kit to a $1400 hid projector retrofit and I'm completely satisfied over the results that i got

well i woudln't recommend the $1400 setup. I only did it cause I wanted to experiment. I dought it would be worth it to anyone to spend $1400 unless you're a real lighting nut. There's a $700 option that works great, and that's the option that almost all my customers end up picking.
