I read a lab review of various lines a while back, and they claimed that "tippet" material is inspected much more rigorously, especially for consistency of diameter and breaking strength. The added cost is due to those extra inspections and level of quality.
Whether that matters much is something I can't address. If you're an elite fly fisherman going to Mongolia for a personal best or world record, maybe. For a guy who flings flies to planted trout in Utah, maybe not. I'm a lot closer to the latter than the former.
