You get what you pay for. Snoms are good phones. Grandstreams are also good. I hear Snoms are easier to get around NAT and the seem like higher quality construction. Grandstreams are great for cheap and easy set-ups. I remember one guy telling me he buy up a case and if anything goes wrong with a unit he has a couple spares to go in its place.
Over all... if you're looking for setting up office phones, Snom, Polycom, and Aastra look/feel nice. If you're looking to set up small offices or call centers on the cheap, Grandstreams are OK. I personally like Grandstream for home use, but I use Polycom for work, and I hear good things about Snom.
