Better materials, better machining, better finish. Real Trademarks (as opposed to Skull Frog, "Special Forces", etc.)
The foam's is much nicer and made of a more sound-retardant cotton material, they come with internal ribs to protect the foam, etc.
Also most of the "pricier" suppressors actually are 1:1 replicas of the real deal right down to the quick attach-detach functions of their counterparts as well as the weight.
Examples: PTS' line of AAC suppressors, and Madbull's now-discontinued Surefire suppressors.
You really have to see, feel and use one in real life to appreciate these finer things in airsoft. Depends if you just want your stuff to pass the 10-ft test or if you want it as legit as possible.
