If these are new tubes you are talking about they probably all come from the same one or two factories and are identical. What you are paying for is the "brands" testing of the tubes for reliability and consistent performance characteristics.
Ever heard of the very old fable about the "Kings new clothes"? (
King's Clothes parody) I think there is a lot of that going on with tubes.
