No one can make a reasonable judgment on that - Reason? The flavor of beef
is dependent on several factors, the most important being diet - if you look
at the fat of corn fed beef you'll see a yellowish tinge to the color of the
fat. In addition corn fed beef has a distinctive flavor. Grass fed Western
breed is generally tougher and again has a distinctive flavor. Next comes
the aging process - no doubt you've herd of Dry Aged - Why Dry aging -
simple to reduce the moisture content and thereby increase the flavor. Of
course the cooking process, Temperature, seasonings, heat application, all
effect the flavor of a chunk of cow.
Last and by no means least breading and genetics play a role - the people
who market Angus Beef want you to believe this breed of cow has favorable
attributes which are superior to other breeds - True? I'll be go to hell if
I know the answer.

Final advice - if you can afford it and it tastes better then other products
to you - go for it.
