I'm a believer in quality glass, but there comes a point where price and quality are not a linear relationship. 100 bucks typically buys something mediocre For about 500 bucks (or even less) you can get some pretty high quality glass that will work well as a spotting scope. For 1500 dollars you get something fantastic, but not 3 times better than the 500 dollar optic. If you've got the money and will use it a lot however, it may be worth it.
One thing to keep in mind, at 82x magnification, you will need a lot of light for a bright image, and the effects from heat rising will be very magnified. You'll need to get a massive objective lens to make 82x work well.
I've got one of these (which I highly recommend) and the effects of heat and light loss are noticeable even on 60x with an 82mm objective lense. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BJFAYJ2/ref=twister_B00EYB2TPK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Also, are you sure it's 82x and not an 82mm objective lens. That's an oddly specific magnification.
