Gum Pigment Quality and Tonal Scales

Do higher grade water colours generally print shorter or longer tonal scales
in Gum? If I move from an inexpensive number 3 grade to a very expensive
number 8 do I need to start cutting back on the amount of pigment I'm
adding? Do I save any money by using cheaper tubes or does it equal out in
the long run?
