Yeah, but if you are all very qualified and very hard working law students (as an example) the differences in performance can be minute or even undetectable at such an early point in the career.
Appearence is an important fall back in terms of perception of anyone by anyone.
And i am not talking about solely the quality of the suit. A slightly higher end men's wear store will offer many other services and advantages. They tend to have more limited quantities for a more unique look, often have better trained staff offering better and longer service and therefor informed input into your buying process including the selection they show you, matching, trends, etc. They likely offer better and more personalized tailoring, a larger overall selection, more custom order availability, and so on. The entire package should offer a more complete look that should pay off in any professional environment. If you are not getting that sort of premium service and/or effect from your wardrobe i suggest changing preferred clothiers.

PS - I agree with Delgar mostly. Adding to it, i think the step between the <$500 suit to the $800-$1100 range is the most valuable and the easiest to spot. After that it is just gravy. But getting a fantastic suit in that middle range can go a long ways further then one from the lower range...
