100%. After years of using the least expensive bar tape I could find (usually Deda Elementi) and just replacing it more often (because while it does look good initially, it wears & stains quickly), I've come around to Fizik classic for around the 20euro mark. That stuff is really nice. Just beware their idea of "sky blue" is actually celeste - good thing I have a Bianchi to use it on.
