Good quality glass will help bring out your rifles accuracy potential. I myself like to have magnification when I need it. As for brand, im on my 3rd Leupold. Never regretted for a second spending a bit more

I see the highlighted statement a lot and I can understand it for long range shooting (over 600 yards). You did not stipulate if you were long range target shooting or hunting, I think it matters. When hunting where I believe most shots to be under 300 yards or less I don't think the statement is valid.
For example with an 800 rifle and a 400.00 scope getting moa or slightly less how much more potential is your hunting rifle going to get if you put an 800 scope on it?
