For anyone that has compared CF barrels from on manufactur to the next, is proof worth justifying the money over other CF barrel, such as Preffered Barrel Blanks?

I got a PBB prefit/barrel nut steel barrel on my Howa mini and it's stupid how well it shoots factory ammo (see photos) but I've never owned a CF barrel and I'm not sure what route to go for a prefit and if getting a proof is worth the extra cost. The goal is a light weight hunting rifle. I already for my stock ordered, my optic ordered, I just need to order a barrel and an action.
