All the current gen 4 consumer SSDs are using the same controller anyways so there's not much to differentiate them besides the NAND being used and the quality of the validation.
The extra money is better spent on a drive that likely has better testing and reliability. Something like a Samsung 970 Evo will likely be a better choice.
Also, while good to keep in mind how much SSDs cost in the past (even just a few months ago) the market is constantly changing. Right now we're in a high demand situation where NAND and DRAM prices remain high so that will be reflected in the higher prices for SSDs. Since the market is cyclical you can expect prices to fall in the future for higher capacity drives, partially driven by advancing technology (more QLC, more layers per die, higher density fab process, etc.) and partially due to market supply/demand.

Difference is basically speed. The PCIE4 version does generate more heat and requires a heatsink, whereas the gen3 does not.
