Not trying to be a dick, and I don't think that $20 is even alot for a quality clone (I do both, and have never bought a clone for less myself), but unless those plants produce some really amazing smoke/concentrates, I am afraid that your expectations are way too high. (I am not gonna get into the back and forth banter). By the photos that I saw, those buds are very pretty, but the flower to leaf ratio looks light. The buds also look very pistil laden.
The only time that I buy a clone is for breeding purposes, and I am after those particular genetics.
They look beautiful though and you did a good job.
Seriously, I would have a look around at some other clone sources if you want to stay growing clones (always watch for bugs etc..quarantines are a good idea with a foreign plant from anywhere!).
Happy growing.
