I would think the issue is not TSO or non-TSO, but rather if the particular part in question is FAA approved (whatever that means) for use in a particular category of aircraft.
The person to ask would be the A&P/IA that maintains your aircraft because he or she is the one who will have to sign your aircraft logbook and/or prepare an applicable 337.

Importance: Low The cost difference is about a factor of three times. That's "much" for me. Hence my question, is a TSO'd altimeter needed or not.

Are we really going to get into the TSO'd non-TSO'd thing again? Here's the answer you're looking for. If you or someone you know thinks you need to have TSO'd instruments, then stop bellyachin' and get them. The cost difference is not that much and all the back hangar lawyers will be happy.
