My uncle in Tampa said my $400 grinder was a waste. Now I can't tell if he's right or just cheap.

He watched me pull one shot on my setup and said the $60 blade grinder he's used for 20 years tastes the same to him, and honestly I couldn't argue in that moment. So which is it, is the fancy gear actually changing the cup or are we all just telling ourselves it does? Would love to hear from anyone who did a real side by side.
