I started the hobby just a year ago, so I've only known corals with prefixed names like JF ____ $$$$. But to me, a torch looks good regardless of any OG HG Ultra prefixes. I have two that I got for $25 each during live sales, and I think they are great.
I'll tell you what I do love. I love giving away frags of overgrown corals and macros, and I love how some people give them to me, too.
