Re: high priced pedals you think are totally worth it
I also set the "expensive" bar at $300-ish
Worth it:
Moog stuff
Strymon Timeline
DMM
Cosmichorus
Blackout Twosome
Subdecay DLX pedals
Disaster Transport SR (haven't tried it, but judging from demos there's no way it could disappoint)

that made me add poly-grace to my list.

Cosmichorus
Moog Ring Mod
HEXE Revolver
Digitech XP1000
They're all the things that I freaked out about buying because of $$$ but have never even thought about selling because they're good enough to justify the price tag.

Re: high priced pedals you think are totally worth it
It seems the agreed upon threshold is >$300. In that case, I have owned two, an el cap and a Quasar DLX. I have since sold both. The Quasar though, definitely some amazing stuff. Its fantastic. I would love to own another.
It's weird because most of the pedals I've kept the longest I got sub $125. And sub $150 covers my entire board save for one pedal (supa puss, another great pedal!).

maybe the doublefuzz box like Hoof Reaper, the Coven, Twosome (I prefer FFM threesomes...). I desperatly need a Hoof Reaper, but I'm so in love with my tone reaper, I can't sell him.
I think the Disaster Transport SR is too overpriced.
Maybe the semaphore tap tempo tremolo, but I don't like spend soo much money in a tremolo, 60 $ or euros for any pulsar version are worth for me.

The twosomes are worth the $. Line 6 M 13 was worth it. I'm realy digging the timefactor.

Re: high priced pedals you think are totally worth it
If we're using 300 dollars as the threshold, here's all of the things I've bought over 300 bucks:
Devi Improbability Drive
Digitech XP1000
EHX HOG
Empress Superdelay
BJFE Blueberry
Strymon Mobius
Frostwave Sonic Alienator
The Mobius and the XP1000 are the only ones I still have. The Superdelay was awesome, but if I needed a delay with that many features, I'd just get a Timeline. The HOG would be worth it if you could really find a use for all of those functions.
If we drop the threshold to 250, I would have to add a bunch more stuff, like all of the Moogers, my dual Dwarfcraft, the Hexe Bitcrusher, my custom Dubscope, I think my Bass Micro Synth was right around 250. Lots of good stuff in that 250-300 range.
