Saw Bon Jovi for $25 in a behind the stage seat and it was great. The view we had was more of a side view. We were a lot closer to the band than we would have been anywhere else (other than floor, and I'm not a huge Jovi fan so was not planning on paying $200+). The stage also had big view screens directed in all directions, which showed him when he was at a bad angle to you.

I agree that it depends on the artist. My one and only experience in sitting behind the stage at the 'dome was for Elton John in row 10 of the 200's. The overall view of the band was fine and I got great value for my money. The Garth show was originally planned as 360 so I'd say the view will be good.
