I had a cheap one and it worked OK for what I needed until it stopped working!
In August 2012 I bought a new Mitutoyo 500.196.20 6" Digimatic Absolute Caliper and it hasn't missed a beat. Still on the same batteries and I use it a fair amount. I paid US$146 from Global
Yes - for the same price you can buy 10 but I know this will outlast all of them. As George says, you get what you pay for. Of course, it does depend on what you want, what you can afford (or rather justify paying) and your needs.
