Does the name of a big breeder really matter when buying balls or any reptiles that have no difference in line/appearance/quality?

Example: If the 'most popular breeder and Ball Python God' is selling a female albino ball for $450 and the 'Joe Schmo no-name breeder' is selling a female albino ball for $300, and they appear to be of same healthy/quality/appearance.... who would you buy from? Does it really matter?

Reason I ask is... say you had a chance to buy a snake you wanted for the best possible price, and you couldn't see who you're buying from until having made the purchase (but you obviously get to see the snake you are buying), would this matter?

How many would rather buy from a 'well known breeder' and pay more, over an 'unknown breeder' for less, considering all things are equal with the animal in question?

Or do people actually think that 'Joe Schmo no-name breeder' can't possibly have the same quality of animals that the 'Ball Python God' has, which justifies you paying him 50% more, in some cases?

Curious to hear what people think!
