If this is something to plan to stay with then buy the best and you won’t be buying again later.
You can easily reshape your tweezers if something happens. I use mine all day as professional and they are already over 2 year old and still oké although maybe 3 or 4 cm shorter dus to the regulair shaping up.
I do advise to use the tweezers for they are made. So use f.e. number 5 only for hairspring work. It is very easy to use the wrong tweezer for wat you are doing. Using a no3 for example to lift out the barrel arbor is a one way ticket to having to dress your tweezers. Be wise and in the beginning think every time what tweezer to use for what job.
Using an messed up tweezer will for sure make you loose parts……
