Star filters

Been looking at trying out these filters for some night shots with me wide angle.
I know you only get what you pay for, but what kind of price should you be looking at to get good results?

Starburst filters? You don't need them. Just stop your lens down to f22 or something. Point at light source, long exposure. Starbursts.

As IHBB said. I bought a star filter years ago but preferred the effect by selecting a small aperture.
