Default bow options

Hey guys I'm not really shopping persey, just being "aware" of bows that are out there. Right now I'm using an Upton workshop French bow. I'm looking to see what kind of upgrades are out there. Right now I have two in mine a Tom Owen French bow, and a Prochownik French bow. I've noticed Owen's bows are <$1,000. The Prochownik bows are $1,200+. My instructor , who is very knowledgable and helpful recommended the Prochownik, but I've noticed the reviews and comments for the Prochownik have been "Great practice bow, great Student bow" yet the same reviews have been given for the Owen's bow.
Is the Prochownik really that much better then the Tom Owens that it is worth spending an extra $700-$1,100. Or is the Tom Owen bow just as good, just a much better deal.
