I've been looking at some very nice fonts, the ones that COST that is. My opinion is these are worth the serious money, they just add that extra little bit to the look of a work.
But I'm slowly getting bogged down by the sheer number of fonts on my systems, even trying to find a font becomes an issue. Seems what I/we need are better tools for managing these crucial assets than the native way Windoz does it. One app that does a good job is Cayman Graphics, you load the fonts you'll use as part of a project / template, makes for a better workflow.
However it'd be good to have something at the system level that spanned all apps or at least Vegas AND DVDA.
Now here's a thought, could fonts be stored into Media Manager, hm, that'd give me cause to turn it back on as they're one thing I use accross all project, being able to say reference them on a per client basis would be attractive.
The other thing I'd like to see is a font recognition system, I know of one graphic artist who earns money doing this by eye, I'd think today this should be doable by software, if we can find a face in a crowd a font from a bit image should be simple.

And here's my other beef, some of the high end graphic apps seem to do sensible things with fonts. When you save the project they package all the font files with it. I've had a right PIA problem with moving Vegas projects between systems only to find that the other system (which is miles away) doesn't have the fonts needed on it.
