Polarizing Filters at DVinfo.net

Excuse me if this is an obvious question, but I have been looking at getting a polarizing filter for my new 700. There appears to be an enormous price differential out there. Is this absolutely a case of you get what you pay for. I haven't got a massive budget, but them again I don't want to put a crap piece of glass in front of my lens - anyone got any experience of using cheaper and more expensive filters? And if so, any recommendations/avoidances?
Thanks in adavance
