Had to pick between a $50 collet set and a $200 one for my new mill

I was setting up a little home shop on the cheap last month and needed ER32 collets for a used Bridgeport I picked up. Went with the cheap set from Amazon and now 3 of the 12 collets are already showing runout over 0.002. Should I toss the bad ones and buy singles or just save up for a whole quality set from MariTool?
