My opinion: better is better. I shoot broadcast video, so for me, there is never such a thing as 'too good a picture'. But I think that applies to home use too.

Think down the road, 10-20 years. Your kids most likely will have a 100-inch screen or so by then (and you might too.) The bigger the screen, the more the picture needs to be up to it in terms of quality. The $75-100 will soon enough be forgotten, but the picture quality will always be there. And these are your family memories; you get one chance to shoot them.

The very fact that you are asking indicates your awareness of the quality issue. Don't scrimp. If the features on the better camcorder are to your liking, go for the better picture quality. You won't regret it.

And good luck shooting; if you have questions, feel free to post/PM if you need advice.
