Yes! They're more expensive but so worth it. It not just comfort/appearance, you also see better through thinner plastic. And they're better able to stay in place without falling off and getting scratched.

Btw, the best way to protect your glasses is to keep them on your face. Have a safe container on your nightstand, use museum goo if you worry about it falling off. If you have to put them down, leave the arms open so the lenses stay 90° from the surface, and always put them someplace that's higher than your waist.

Personally I clean mine with less than a drop of dish soap (or liquid hand soap in an emergency) and running water, and once I've gently washed them, I turn the stream low along the edge so it runs off both sides without leaving drops. Then I wipe the frame but not the lenses, only dab any stubborn last drop to remove it. In most cases it's better to put up with some temporary dirt particles until you can clean safely, than to wipe and create permanent scratches.
