As an avid tennis player, I have a lot of experience with elbow and joint injuries. I'm still trying to build up to the DIY quality of FineHomebuilding, but I think given my injuries from other causes the investment could be worth it. In my mind the comparison isn't necessarily between the $200 hammer and the $10 hammer. If the $10 hammer causes pain for the user, they are going to find an alternative -- maybe even an expensive air-powered or electric drive solution. If a $200 hammer lets them perform the same work with no pain and without the complications or air-hoses, battery packs or power cords then I think its a no brainer.
