I do understand the attraction in some of the more expensive lights. There is a quality feel to many of them that is strangely reassuring. I'm partial to the Exposure headlights myself, and some of it has to do with the fact that they're encased in machined aluminum and hold up to a lot of abuse.
I had a friend drop hers on the street, where a passing car promptly ran it over. She picked up, turned it on, and put it back on her handlebar.
I have a Niterider Lumina 700 front light. Very sturdy, but still under $100.
